Audio Return Channel (ARC) is a function that enables digital sound signals to 
be sent via an HDMI cable.

after the connection, turn the equipment on and then switch the TV on. Set the input mode to 
HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3 or HDMI4 (p. 34), and make sure that the image is displayed correctly.

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”, based on the control functions provided by HDMI which is an industry standard known 
as HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), is a unique function that we have developed and added. As such, its 
operation with other manufacturers’ equipment that supports HDMI CEC cannot be guaranteed.
Please refer to the individual manuals for other manufacturers’ equipment supporting the VIERA Link function.

 HDMI cable

This function needs an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable. Non-HDMI-compliant cables cannot be utilized.
It is recommended that you use Panasonic’s HDMI cable. Recommended part number:
RP-CDHS15 (4.9 ft/1.5 m), RP-CDHS30 (9.8 ft/3.0 m), RP-CDHS50 (16.4 ft/5.0 m)
