Kenwood new CLK-7i-S & CLK-5i-S/W Slim Stereo Systems

The latest Kenwood's flat stereo series includes two models, the CLK-7i-S ($450 USD), CLK-5i-S and CLK-5i-W ($350 USD), the last letter stands for the color, S for silver and W for white finish. The main difference between the two models is that the CLK-5i-S/W is not equipped with an MD deck and does not display infos from CDs.

The stereo is 18cm thick and has AM/FM tuner, a subwoofer output and a pair of 10Watts removable slim speakers. The top-loading CD player is compatible with CD, CD-RW, MP3 and WMA but no support of DRM protected audio files. The CLK series also has USB connection and supports almost all iPod via an optional cable "PNC - iP120". Both units come with a remote control and will be out in Japan early this month.
