LAS VEGAS, NV — CES - January 6, 2001 (Updated July 2001) — Stylishly thin, and designed to fit on any wall, desk or shelf, Fisher's exceptional new SLIM-2000 is an innovative, multi-functional audio system featuring a vertical-loading 3-disc CD changer.

TheSLIM2000 has been selected for a prestigious Innovations 2001 award at the 2001 International Consumer Electronics Show. It will be showcased at CES from January 6-9, 2001 at the Innovations Booth #24143 located in the Silver Pavilion of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Three separate disc drives, each with its own laser pickup, ensures fast, silent switchover from one CD to another. Discs neednÕt be shuffled into position for play, making the SLIM-2000's design exceptionally trouble-free. Users can instantly access any disc in the illuminated disc compartments for easy removal or replacement.

See-through motorized doors make an impressive statement, presenting the SLIM-2000's 3-CD changer in high style. The user simply touches a single key on the remote control, and the track-guided doors glide open or closed smoothly and quietly.

Capable of rich, room-filling stereo sound that belies its compact size, the 5.25 inch-deep Fisher SLIM-2000 features snap-in CD loading and 21-selection random programming (from 3 CDs). It will play most CD-Rs. An AM/FM digital tuner provides 20 AM and 20 FM station presets, and users can wake-to or sleep-to either radio or CD tracks.

Like its Innovations award-winning predecessors, the SLIM-1000 and SLIM-1500, the new SLIM-2000 looks great on a kitchen, den or office wall, as well as on a desktop or shelf. Listen to continuous CD to CD playback or select any track with the included remote from the comfort of a sofa.

Key features of the SLIM-2000 also include 3-mode CD repeat play/random play, 2-way bass reflex speakers, 10-key direct access remote control, alarm function with SureWake feature, 12-hour digital clock, and a battery backup system.
