Kenwood announced 2 new compact hi-fi systems, including the UD-A77 and UD-A55 which also exist as a standalone model without speakers, and the UD-UA55.

What’s really new here is that the UD-A77 receives a SD CD MD player, and a USB port to plug in a USB key and play MP3 or WMA files.
You can also copy files from a SD to a MD, or from a CD to a MD or SD. However, you cannot copy tracks from a SD, CD or MD to a USB key. The system is not SDHC and doesn’t support SD above 2GB. The only difference between models 77 and 55 is the MD player, which is not present on the Ud-A55 and UD-UA55.

All models output 2x20W and have a range of 8 to 48kHz. These products will be available in November, at a 230 to 355 euros price range.
