What is VIERA Link (HDMI)?
●VIERA Link is a function that automatically links this camera to VIERA Link-
compatible devices by connecting HDMI mini cables (optional) for enabling easy
operation with the VIERA remote control. (Some operations are not available.)
●VIERA Link (HDMI) is an exclusive Panasonic function added to the industry-
standard HDMI control functions known as HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics
Control). Operation is not guaranteed when connecting with non-Panasonic HDMI
CEC-compatible devices. Refer to your product manual to verify compatibility with
VIERA Link (HDMI).

standard that also supports previous Panasonic VIERA Link devices. (As of
December 2010)

was purchased.

be limited.
