Sony NAS Z200iR iPod Dock


Sony on Tuesday added a pair of iPod speaker docks that center on its first network-aware system. The NAS-Z200iR (shown) puts all its controls on an advanced visual remote that also serves as the center of a Wi-Fi streaming system. Besides controlling iPods and other physical media on the stereo itself, the remote can share media streamed from DLNA-supporting devices like the PlayStation 3 or PC software as well as to browse Internet radio stations.

The minimalism hides a larger array of physical sources including CDs, AM/FM radio, an aux-in jack and a USB port. Sony's system puts out 40W of total sustained power and is due to ship to at least Europe in mid-September.

A second system also confirms earlier leaks. The CMT-Z100iR shares the audio system of the networked model but mounts all the controls back on the main unit with "stealth" displays for the time and music selection. It continues to play all the same sources, but its simpler design ships earlier, arriving next month in both black and white colors.

US launch information hasn't been provided for either audio device but should appear soon.
