Control via HDMI (HDAVI Control)
If you connect this unit with an HDMI cable to a Panasonic television set with HDAVI
control function, then both units can be controlled. After connecting up the unit,
switch in the [Setup] menu [Control with HDMI / Q Link] to [HDMI and Q Link].
!Once an HDAVI Control compatible unit has been connected to the HDMI AV OUT
connection, switch the units on and automatically selects the input channel for the
DVD Recorder. Repeat the procedure if there is any change to the HDMI AV OUT
connection.
Automatic input changeover (Easy Playback)
If you start the playback function or select a menu (e.g. Direct Navigator, Timer
Recording), the external unit automatically switches to the input channel for the
DVD Recorder.
If you are recording on the DVD drive, the external unit does not automatically
change to the input channel.
Power on link
If you start the playback function or e.g. select the menu Direct Navigator or Timer
Recording, the television set switches on.
If you are recording on the DVD drive, the external unit does not automatically
change to the input channel.
Power off link
If the television set is switched off, this unit automatically switches off as well. The

(High Definition Multimedia Interface)
If you connect the DVD Recorder to an HDMI-compatible unit, just one cable
transfers a high quality digital audio and video signal without interference.
The audio signal cannot be transmitted via HDMI if an externally connected unit does
not support CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media), or when playing
a DVD audio with copy protection. In this case, use an audio cable.
If an connected TV only supports dual-channel audio, then an audio signal with 3 or
more channels is down-converted, with output through 2 audio channels.
It is not always possible to down-convert all discs.
Titles where down-converting is not possible can only be reproduced via HDMI
through an amplifier which corresponds to the HDMI Ver. 1.1 standard or higher
and is CPPM compatible.
For HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compatible units with DVI
(Digital Visual Interface) connection (e.g. PC monitors): depending on the unit, it is
possible that a DVI/HDMI adapter does not reproduce the video signal perfectly. The
audio signal is not transmitted in this case.
