April 27, 2009 - FUJITSU TEN LIMITED, manufacturer of leading automotive electronics, announced today the AVN726EE, its latest addition to the popular ECLIPSE brand of AV Navigation products. This new product is the latest realization of the company's AV Navigation concept which revolves around the three core points of a perfect fit, comfort + awareness and integrated technology, in order to promote driving safety and comfort. Since 2005, ECLIPSE has been selling the AV Navigation on the European market. The AVN726EE is a dedicated version for the European market of the award-winning AVN726E which was named Best of Innovations 2009 in its category by the Consumer Electronics Association in U.S.A..

The AVN726EE is a next-generation AV Navigation model that features all digital video circuitry and a 7.0” WQVGA high-contrast. It also includes a high-visibility TFT display with day and night view modes which can be linked to the headlights for automatic activation. Navigational displays as well as multi-format audiovisual applications are now seen with improved definition without any analog deterioration such as noise and smearing. The advanced digital image processing automatically adjusts outlining, color-depth and contrasts to make images more vivid.

Updating maps is easy by using an SD card for which the AVN726EE includes an SD card slot.

The AVN726EE breaks new ground as it is the only integrated navigation, audio and visual entertainment product offering six preamp channel outputs at a high 5V output for high fidelity audio expansion options. To match the unit's improved video performance, improved sound quality and lowered distortion was achieved using premium parts in crucial circuit locations.
