“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 (DIGA Recorder, HD Video Camera, Player theatre, Amplifier,
etc.) with HDMI and SCART cables allow you to interface them automatically.
These features are limited to models incorporating “HDAVI Control” and

This TV supports “HDAVI Control 5” function.
Some functions are not available depending on the equipment’s version
of HDAVI Control. Confirm the connected equipment’s version of HDAVI
Control.
VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a unique function that we have developed
and added based on the control functions provided by HDMI which is an
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.

Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care:
Gently wipe the surfaces of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal using a
soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints.
For stubborn dirt:
(1) First clean the dust on the surface.
(2) Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1
part detergent to 100 parts water).
(3) Wring the cloth firmly. (Please note liquids do not enter the TV inside.
May lead to product failure.)
(4) 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.

to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be absolutely sure to ask
your dealer or a licensed contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets.
Any damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your
warranty.
Carefully read the instructions accompanying optional accessories, and be
absolutely sure to take steps to prevent the TV from falling off.
