Release of Three Models of the ECLIPSE Car Navigation System for Fall 2011
- Smart Beauty: 3 types of beauty combine to give the sophisticated AVN-G01 -

October. 4, 2011
FUJITSU TEN LIMITED

FUJITSU TEN (Kobe City, Hyogo, Japan; President & Representative Director: Takashi Shigematsu; Capital: ¥5.3 billion) will release three new models, the AVN-G01, AVN111M and AVN111MBC, under its ECLIPSE car navigation brand for fall 2011.
(*Available only in Japan.)


Concepts Underlying the 2011 Fall Models

In the Japanese car navigation market, there is a growing demand for low-price and high-function memory-type units. In response, FUJITSU TEN will release the AVN-G01 as a reasonably priced model that offers high functionality and compatibility with popular terrestrial digital broadcasting ("full-seg") and DVD audio based on the key concept of "Smart Beauty." In doing so, we have bolstered our lineup of memory-type navigation systems.
The AVN-G01 concept of "Smart Beauty" constitutes three types of beauty that combine to sophisticate the navigation experience. First is "Beautiful Map," which aims to enhance map visibility when driving by using high-definition 7-inch WVGA digital TFT display. Second is "Beautiful Screen," which aims to provide the sharpest images in the class through processing the digital signals of terrestrial digital broadcasting ("full-seg"). And third is "Beautiful Sound," which aims to produce clear sound with low noise through processing the sound source as digital signals. Through combining these three types of beauty with terrestrial digital broadcasting ("full-seg") and DVD audio, which have been numerously requested by customers, we aim to provide even safer and more pelasant car life.
We have also shortened navigation startup time, updated map data and improved user friendliness in our AVN Lite series, which has earned favorable reviews for its easy-to-use controls.

1. Beautiful Map : Clear navigation maps

Realization of map depiction that utilizes features of high-definition VGA display to the full

User-friendly map display is sought. Visibility has been improved through clearly displaying even narrow roads and small letters. As well as creating new map notation and icons, through giving priority to easy viewing through adopting rich texture and color for green areas and ocean, etc., the system supports safe driving.

Measures for high picture quality

Through adopting digital TFT, sharp images with no blurring have been made possible.
LED backlight is adopted, thereby reducing power consumption and making it possible to vividly reproduce images on a bright screen.


2. Beautiful Screen : Vivid terrestrial digital and DVD images

Stable reception performance through 4 tuners and 4 antennas

Adhering to "full-seg" reception performance, 4 tuners x 4 front antennas - the same as in the superior model - have been adopted.
Wave interference during running can be accurately corrected, making it possible to secure stable reception performance.

Digitization of DTV image signal processing

Since signals from the image source are transmitted and processed without degradation, the clearest display in the class is achieved.

Succession of DVD-related functions such as VR mode compatibility and menu direct touch, etc. from superior models

The system is compatible with DVD-VR and DVD-Video. Touch panel operation makes it easy to enjoy DVDs.


3. Beautiful Sound: Clear audio media sound

Clear and faithful reproduction of the sound source

Through digitally connecting and processing the digital sound source, clear sound with little influence from noise can be reproduced.


4. Simple controls for everyone thanks to the highly popular easy-to-use interface

Simple and easy-to-use operations

Often-used buttons are arranged on the top screen, while often-used menu screen buttons have been made larger and are displayed as tabs, thus making operation easier for people who usually have difficulty with navigation systems.


5. Compatibility with genuine steering remote control

Audio operations during driving are safe and compatible with a wide range of models

This model can be connected with a genuine steering remote control to allow the driver to safely operate audio functions without taking his or her eyes off the road while driving. As there is no need to purchase a separate kit, this function can be immediately used after purchase.
Note: Not compatible with all vehicles and functions might also be partially limited.
