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

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.

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.]

≥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.

RQT9243 or RQT9350
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.
