Conserving power

The main unit and the wireless system consume a small amount of

power when they are turned off (\U.S.A.[and\Canada] main unit: approx.

0.1 W, wireless system: approx. 0.2 W, \Others] main unit: approx. 0.2 W,

wireless system: approx. 0.3 W). To save power when they are not to be

used for a long time, unplug them from the household AC outlet.

You will need to reset some memory items after plugging in the main

unit.

[Note]

The included AC power supply cords are for use with the main unit and

wireless system only. Do not use them with other equipment. Also, do

not use cords for other equipment with the main unit or wireless system.

Turn on the wireless system after all connections are complete.

≥Use alkaline or manganese batteries.

≥Do not heat or expose to flame.

≥Do not leave the battery(ies) in an automobile exposed to direct

sunlight for a long period of time with doors and windows closed.

Do not:

≥mix old and new batteries.

≥use different types of batteries at the same time.

≥take apart or short circuit.

≥attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries.

≥use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.

Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which can

severely damage the remote control.

Remove the batteries if the remote control is not going to be used for a

long period of time. Store in a cool, dark place.

Aim at the remote control signal sensor (B39), avoiding obstacles, at a

maximum range of 7 m (23 ft) directly in front of the unit.

Other Oper ating

Using the VIERA LinkTM “HDAVI ControlTM”

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) under “HDAVI

Control”. You can use this function by connecting the equipment with the

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 4” function.

“HDAVI Control 4” is the newest standard (current as of December,

2008) 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.

The TV with “HDAVI Control 2 or later” function enables the following

operation: VIERA Link Control only with TV’s remote control (for

“HDAVI Control 2 or later”) (B25)

Preparation

≥Confirm that the HDMI connection has been made (B9).

≥Set “VIERA Link” to “ON” (B29, HDMI menu).

≥To complete and activate the connection correctly, turn on all VIERA

Link “HDAVI Control” compatible equipment and set the TV to the

corresponding HDMI input mode for this unit.

Whenever the connection or settings are changed, reconfirm the points

above.

(Available when using VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” with

“HDAVI Control 3 or later” compatible TV)

This function automatically provides synchronized audio and video

output. (This works only when the source is “DVD/CD”, “AUX” or “D-IN”.)

≥When using “DVD/CD” as the source, set “TIME DELAY” in VIDEO

menu to “0 ms/AUTO” (B28).

You can turn on this unit and the TV, and start playing the disc with a

single press of a button.

[Note]

Playback may not be immediately displayed on the TV. If you miss the

beginning portion of playback, press [:] or [6] to go back to where

playback started.

≥When you switch the TV input to TV tuner mode, this unit will

automatically switch to “AUX”§ or “D-IN”§. (For “IPOD” mode, this works

≥When you start disc play, the TV will automatically switch its input mode

for this unit.

When the TV is turned off, this unit goes into standby mode automatically.

To continue audio playback even when the TV is turned off, select

“VIDEO” (B29, “POWER OFF LINK” in HDMI menu).

[Note]

≥When you press [Í], only this unit turns off. Other connected equipment

compatible with VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” stays on.

≥If this unit is connected to a “HDAVI Control 4” compatible TV with the

“Auto power standby” setting activated on the TV, the main unit will be

automatically turned to standby under the following conditions:

e.g.,

For details, refer also to the operating instructions for your TV.
