Panasonic Viera Link

Hi all, I wonder if you can help with this:
I have a Panny lcd tv with viera link connected to a Panny HD DVD
recorder and a Panny blu-ray player. I can't for the life of me get
viera link to workm all I get is "function not avaioable".
The 3 units are connected exactly as per their respective manuals, the
dvd has an hdmi ltad to the lowest number hdmi input on the tv, as well
as a scart cable from one to the other. The blu-ray just has an hdmi
lead to the tv and a toslink to the av reciever.
Something is working as I can use pause live tv, record live tv and
rewind live tv. I still have to select each unit individually tho'
Has anyone got tis combination to work?
TX-L37V10B
DMR-XW380
DMP-BD60

Thanks

Bob

The DVD and blu-ray may have a menu option to determine whether they
respond to HDMI control, "Q-link" (i.e. control over scart), or both.

All three have a menu option for "Viera Link on/off" set to on on each
machine.

I assume you are using completely standard HDMI cables? Not, say, DVI
cables with adaptors?

No, all the cables are full spec HDMI.

Sorry, I don't have any other suggestions.

My son had a simular problem with some sony stuff. A Power on reset was
all that was needed. Wish we had tried that first!!

No, all the cables are full spec HDMI.

I bought a full spec HDMI 1.4 cable to connect my camcorder to the TV.
HDMI control didn't work, so I bought a different one. It still didn't
work, so I visited a Sony Centre to see if I could try the camera
there. They wheeled out one of their cables (it wasn't Sony branded)
and it then worked correctly. So I now know of at least two full spec
cables that most definitely are not.
