“HDAVI Control™” function.
VIERA Link (HDAVI Control) connects the TV and the equipment with
VIERA Link function, and enables easy control, playback, energy saving,
creating home theatre, etc. without complicated settings. Connections to the
equipment (DVD Recorder, HD Video Camera, Player theatre, Amplifier, etc.)

industry standard known as HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).
As such, its operation with other manufacturers’ product that supports
HDMI CEC cannot be guaranteed.
VIERA Link features may be available even with other manufacturers’
equipment supporting HDMI CEC.
Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers’ product
supporting VIERA Link function.
About applicable Panasonic product, consult your local Panasonic dealer.

(1) First clean the dust from the surface.
(2) Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1
part detergent to 100 parts water).
(3) Wring out the cloth firmly. (Please note, do not let liquid enter the TV
inside as it may lead to product failure.)
(4) Carefully wipe moisten and wipe away the stubborn dirt.
(5) Finally, wipe away all the moisture.
= Caution =
Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard, otherwise this may
cause scratches on the surface.
Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner
or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause
peeling of the paint.
The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily
damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail
or other hard objects.
Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or
PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.
Mains plug
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust
may lead to fire or electrical shock.
