Clarion has launched in Japan the FZ409 CD player that handles MP3, WMA and AAC audio file formats. Â You can also connect your USB flash drive or an iPod to listen to your favorite tunes. The cool factor for this CD player is that it has an optical touch sensor for changing tracks, moving between menu, or changing the volume level with the touch of a finger.
There are integrated low- and high-pass filters, along with a 50W x 4 amplifier. A remote control ships with the FZ409. Satellite radio can be hooked up via a separate receiver, while another adapter lets users integrate video-capable iPods to an external monitor.
