Check the HDMI cable connection. Check that “HDMI” is displayed
on the front display when the power for the main unit is set to “On”.
Make sure that “EZ Sync” is set to “On”.

removed from the power outlet, “HDAVI Control” may not work. In
this case, perform the following operations.

turn the TV (VIERA) on again.
2. Change the TV (VIERA) settings for the “HDAVI Control” function
to off, and then set to on again. (For more information, see the
VIERA operating instructions.)
3. Switch the VIERA input to HDMI connection with this unit, and after
this unit’s screen is displayed check that “HDAVI Control” is working.
