HDMI Connection
With HDMI connection, recorded images are

audio signals are transmitted over a single cable, so connection is easier and
there is less clutter in your home theatre cabinet or stand.

With a single cable, HDMI
enables transmission of not only A/V signals but also control signals. All you

entertainment, for example, just press the VIERA-Link button on the remote.

automatically adjusted, and the show's ready to begin. It's that easy.
