Panasonic Turns Your Apple Device Into A TV Remote Control With New VIERA Remote App

Panasonic Turns Your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch Into A VIERA TV Remote Control With New VIERA Remote App

Panasonic is proud to announce its new VIERA Remote App for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is now available on the App Store. Panasonic has made watching and browsing your VIERA TV* even easier with the new VIERA Remote App. The app allows you to quickly and intuitively navigate all the tools and features on your VIERA TV including 3D settings, SD card access and VIERA Connect over WiFi by simply activating the function within your Viera TV's menu.

^{* Please note the VIERA Remote works with all 2011 VIERA Connect capable models. This includes VIERA TV Plasma models (VT30 Series, GT30 Series, ST30 Series, G30 and S30 Series) and LCD models (DT35, DT30, D35 and E30 Series)}

The VIERA Remote App is especially useful when using VIERA Connect, the new cloud-based Internet service from Panasonic that allows people to enjoy sports, health and fitness activities, interactive games, and a variety of other content on their TV, in addition to the standard movies and television programs.

The VIERA Remote App allows you to not only browse and start applications at your convenience, but also input text when required. For example, if you are searching for a video on YouTube or entering a message on Facebook, the app will automatically switch to an onscreen touch keyboard to make text input a breeze. There are a number of other screens available to control different functions, including an option to have either a traditional remote control layout, or a screen that uses gesture control to perform basic operations like changing the channel or adjusting the volume.

The VIERA Remote App is available for free from the App Store on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore
