These features are limited to models incorporating Panasonic’s “HDAVI Control” and “VIERA Link”. 

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.

Refer to individual manuals for compatibility information. About applicable equipment, consult your local 

Panasonic dealer.
