Linked operations with the TV (VIERA LinkTM “HDAVI ControlTM”)  
What is VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”?  
VIERA LinkTM is a new name for EZ SyncTM  
.
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.  
When the following operations are performed, the television will automatically switch the input channel and display  
the corresponding action.  
When play starts on the unit  
Automaticinput  
switching  
When an action that uses the display screen is performed  
(e.g., Direct Navigator screen)  
When the television is off and the following operations are performed, the television will automatically turn on and  
display the corresponding action.  
Power on link  
When play starts on the unit  
When an action that uses the display screen is performed (e.g., Direct Navigator screen)  
All connected equipment compatible with “HDAVI Control”, including this unit, automatically turns off when you  
switch the television off.  
Power off link  
This unit automatically turns off even during playback or any other operation.  
When [1] (PLAY) is pressed on this unit for “Automatic input switching” or “Power on link”, the playback image is not immediately displayed on the  
screen and it may not be possible to watch the contents from where playback started.  
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” (D above) operates.  
The following operations make it possible to keep the power of the unit on and to play music continuously.  
1While playing music  
Press [SUB MENU].  
2Press [3, 4] to select “TV Power” and press [OK].  
Sound may be discontinued for several seconds when the power to the television is turned off.  
If the operation mentioned above is executed while audio is output from the television, the sound may not be output from the amplifier/receiver.  
It is recommended to set the amplifier/receiver beforehand so that audio will be output from the amplifier/receiver.

Glossary  
Dynamic range  
AVCHD  
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.  
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.  
Film and video  
BD-Live  
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.  
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.  
Film:  
Recorded at 24 frames per second. (Recorded at 30  
frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for  
motion picture films.  
Bitstream  
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)  
before it is decoded into its various channels.  
Video:  
Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Generally  
appropriate for TV drama programs or animation.  
BONUSVIEW (Final Standard Profile)  
Frames and fields  
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see on  
your television. Each frame consists of two fields.  
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.]  
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  
DivX [BD55]  
IP address of the electronic device providing Internet access.  
Usually called a router IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.1)  
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.  
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.  
DNS Server  
A server which acts like a telephone directory and translates Internet  
domain names into IP addresses.  
Hub  
Dolby Digital  
Used for connecting more than one device to the network.  
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.  
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  
Dolby Digital Plus  
Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible using  
Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.  
the local IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.10)  
is called  
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)  
Dolby TrueHD  
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.  
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.  
LAN (Local Area Network)  
A group of linked devices in a company, school or home.  
Indicates the boundaries of a particular network.  
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.  
Local storage  
This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for playing  
virtual packages on BD-Video.  
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.  
LPCM (Linear PCM)  
These are a kind of PCM format.  
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on  
CDs.  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio  
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)  
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.  
An audio compression method that compresses audio to  
approximately one tenth of its size without any significant loss of  
audio quality.  
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.

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
