Linked operations with the TV (VIERA Link TM “HDAVI Control TM ”) 

What is VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”? 

VIERA Link TM is a new name for EZ Sync TM . 

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that offers linked operations of this unit, and a Panasonic TV (VIERA) or 

amplifier/receiver under “HDAVI Control”. 

You can use this function by connecting the equipment with an HDMI cable. See the operating instructions for connected equipment 

for operational details. 

≥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. 

≥This unit supports “HDAVI Control 3” function. 

“HDAVI Control 3” is the newest standard (current as of December, 2007) for Panasonic’s HDAVI Control compatible equipment. This standard 

is compatible with Panasonic’s conventional HDAVI equipment. 

≥Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers’ equipment supporting VIERA Link function. 

Preparation 

1) Connect this unit to your TV or amplifier/receiver with an HDMI cable (� 11–12). 

2) Set “VIERA Link” to “On” (� 32). (The default setting is “On”.) 

3) Set the “HDAVI Control” operations on the connected equipment (e.g., TV). 

≥When using HDMI2 terminal of VIERA as “HDAVI Control”, set the input channel to HDMI2 on VIERA. 

4) Turn on all “HDAVI Control” compatible equipment and select this unit’s input channel on the connected TV so that the “HDAVI Control” 

function works properly. 

Also when the connection or settings are changed, repeat this procedure.

In this case, press [:] or [6] to go back to where playback started. 

Playing music continuously even after turning off power to the television 

When the unit is connected to a Panasonic TV (VIERA) that supports HDAVI Control 2 or HDAVI Control 3 and an amplifier/receiver supports 

VIERA Link, the unit is turned off if the power to the television is turned off, since “Power off link” (� above) operates.

Glossary 

AVCHD 

AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video cameras 

that can be used to record and play high-resolution HD images. 

BD-J 

Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these 

applications are called BD-J. You can enjoy various interactive 

features in addition to playing normal video. 

BD-Live 

This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM version 2 Profile 2) that supports the 

new functions such as Internet connection, etc. in addition to the 

BONUSVIEW function. 

Bitstream 

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel) 

before it is decoded into its various channels. 

BONUSVIEW (Final Standard Profile) 

This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM version 2 Profile 1 version 1.1) that 

supports the new functions such as Picture-in-picture, Secondary 

Audio, and Virtual Package, etc. 

Deep Color 

Deep Color is a name for device that can reproduce greater color 

gradation (4096 steps) when connected to a TV that supports the 

deep color with HDMI cable. You can enjoy exceptionally rich, 

natural-looking colors, with smooth, detailed gradation and minimal 

color banding. [A lower color gradation (256 steps), without deep 

color, will be reproduced if connected to a TV which does not support 

deep color. The unit will automatically set appropriate output to suit 

the connected TV.] 

DivX [BD55] 

DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media 

files contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that 

maintains a relatively small file size. 

DNS Server 

A server which acts like a telephone directory and translates Internet 

domain names into IP addresses. 

Dolby Digital 

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby 

Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can 

also be multi-channel audio. 


Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible using 

Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output. 

Dolby TrueHD 

Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that reproduces the 

studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output. 

Down-mixing 

This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on 

some discs into fewer channels. 

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) 

This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good 

separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are 

possible. 

DTS-HD 

DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in movie 

theaters. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible equipment can 

play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio. BD-Video supports up 

to 7.1 channel output. 


This is a signal format achieved by improving the previous DTS, 

DTS-ES and DTS96/24 formats. It is compatible with sampling 

frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel 

output. 

DTS-HD Master Audio 

This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/7.1ch or 

less. In addition, faithful reproduction of the master audio is enabled 

using lossless audio encoding technology. BD-Video supports up to 

7.1 channel output. 

Dynamic range 

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound 

that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest 

level of sound before distortion occurs. 

Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between the 

loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at low 

volumes but still hear dialog clearly. 

Film and video 

DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. This unit can 

determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable 

method of progressive output. 

Film: Recorded at 24 frames per second. (Recorded at 30 

frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for 

motion picture films. 

Video: Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Generally 

appropriate for TV drama programs or animation. 

Frames and fields 

Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see on 

your television. Each frame consists of two fields. 

u r 

Frame Field Field 

≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but 

picture quality is generally better. 

≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but 

there is no blurring. 

Gateway 

IP address of the electronic device providing Internet access. 

Usually called a router IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.1) 

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) 

HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike 

conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video 

and audio signals on a single cable. 

Hub 

Used for connecting more than one device to the network. 

IP address 

A set of numbers which distinguish each device on the network when, 

for example, connected to the Internet. When using a PC in a LAN to 

access a PC or device that is not included in the LAN, the IP address 

is called the local IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.10) 

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) 

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. If 

you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the 

data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The benefit 

of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree 

of compression. 

LAN (Local Area Network) 

A group of linked devices in a company, school or home. 

Indicates the boundaries of a particular network. 

Local storage 

This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for playing 

virtual packages on BD-Video. 

LPCM (Linear PCM) 

These are a kind of PCM format. 

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on 

CDs. 

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) 

An audio compression method that compresses audio to 

approximately one tenth of its size without any significant loss of 

audio quality.

P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD) 

This is a processor which makes use of an exclusive Panasonic 

algorithm. Various processing is supported, including a high-level 

conversion of the TV scanning format from interlace to progressive 

and a high-level conversion of standard resolution (480i or 576i) 

video signal to a 1080 High Definition video signal. 

Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal resolution 

to the connected TV. 

Pan&Scan/Letterbox 

In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be 

viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspect ratio), so images 

often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions. Two styles of 

picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem. 

Pan&Scan:The sides are cut off so the picture fills 

the screen. 

Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom 

of the picture so the picture itself appears 

in an aspect ratio of 16:9. 

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) 

This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio, 

enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle. 

Progressive/Interlace 

The video signal standard of NTSC has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines, 

whereas progressive (p) scanning uses twice the number of scan 

lines, and this is referred to as 480p. Using progressive output, you 

can enjoy watching high resolution video. 

Router 

Distinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, such as the 

PC, and relays the flow of data within the network. 

Sampling frequency 

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave 

(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital 

encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per 

second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the 

original sound. 

Subnet mask 

Enables efficient network use. A set of numbers which identify which 

part of the IP address allocated to every device connected to the 

router is the network portion. 

x.v.Color 

x.v.Color is a name for devices that are compatible with the xvYCC 

format, an international standard for expanded color in motion 

pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission. 

You can enjoy vivid colors of wider color ranges for a more realistic 

picture when connected to a TV that supports the x.v.Color with 

HDMI cable. 

1080i (1125i) 

In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines pass 

to create an interlaced image. Because 1080i (1125i) more than 

doubles current television broadcasts of 480i, the detail is much 

clearer and creates a more realistic and rich image. 

1080p (1125p) 

In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) scan lines pass at the same 

time to create a progressive image. Since progressive video does not 

alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amount of 

screen flicker. 

24p 

This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per 

second. 

720p (750p) 

In one high definition image, 720 (750) scan lines pass at the same 

time to create a progressive image. Since progressive video does not 

alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amount of 

screen flicker.
