If connected with competitors' devices,
will the HDAVI CONTROL feature

operate? In addition, will be there any
problems?
•The answer to this question is No.
•This feature uses the standardized protocol as one of the HDMI standards.
•Support of this feature is optional for manufacturers of HDMI-compliant devices.
•In January 2006, the HDMI specifications version 1.2a was released, and the test
specifications of this protocol were made clear from this version, making it possible
for manufacturers to obtain the HDMI logo certifications.
HDAVI CONTROL signal is sent through 13 pins of the HDMI cable. Also, the
protocol is very similar to Q-Link, AV-Link, and Project 50 of the scart cable. In
this regard, the answer to this question is YES.
By connecting Panasonic products in certain combinations, the system will provide
the functions that are suited to their particular configuration. If the combined
products are in the same product category, the functions of the HDAVI CONTROL
are the same. (For spring 2006 models) For example, if connecting a VIERA and a
DIGA, and if the DIGA model is replaced with each type model, the functions
HDAVI CONTROL provides are the same. However, for an LCD VIERA, which is
to be released in spring 2006, there are some differences in functions as shown in
answers to question 4 below.
PDP released in 2006 are compliant with functions of the Theater System and can be
used with all HDAVI CONTROL functions.
With the LXD60 (LCD) series for the UK and the LX60 (LCD) series for the other
European countries, the HDAVI CONTROL functions only for the VIERA and
DIGA in combination. It does not function with linking the Theater System such as
outputting sound from the Theater. => With the 600 (LCD) series, the HDAVI
CONTROL functions with the entire system.
With the LCD VIERA, the HDAVI CONTROL functions only for between VIERA
and DIGA. It does not function with linking the Theater System such as outputting
sound from the Theater.
With LX60 (LCD) series, the HDAVI CONTROL functions only for the VIERA
and DIGA in combination. It does not function with linking the Theater System such
as outputting sound from the Theater. => With the 600 (LCD) series, the HDAVI
CONTROL functions with the entire system.
The LX60 (LCD) series is not compliant with the HDAVI CONTROL. => With the
600 (LCD) series, the HDAVI CONTROL functions with the entire system.
There are no competitors' devices that use this HDAVI CONTROL feature as of
February 2006.
If CEC- (which is clearly stated as one of the HDMI standards) compliant devices
are made in the future (devices that are not compliant with the HDAVI CONTROL
but are with the CEC only that are standardized by the HDMI standard), the features
of "Auto Input Select" and "VIERA ONE TOUCH POWER-OFF" will function.
Features related to the Theater System are unique to the HDAVI CONTROL, so
they will not function.
