意外的盟友

幾乎與Sony版本相同的，意外地由韓國的GoldStar(現今的LG集團) 所發行，據說LG也是Mini Disc研發成員之一，由於當時韓國家電不若今日普遍之故，罕見程度堪稱第一名。

由於缺乏完整官方新聞稿，僅就局部資訊介紹產品特色。繁多複雜的按鍵操作，罕見的全電動進 / 退碟機構設計，獨立的光纖音源輸入 / 出等在專業器材專屬的豪華配備，似乎也解釋了MD-R如此極具分量的原因。

對應外部數位 / 類比 / MIC訊源錄音，尤其MD的光磁原理特性，可簡單隨意地對將錄音內容執行合併、分割、移動、抹除等前所未有的的強大編輯性能。

最大12 x 2文字的多元顯示螢幕，巨大的充電池僅提供短促的電力續航。並且不支援外接電池盒的設計。

高貴的售價與巨大的體積，MD-R1顯然離Walkman還有好一段距離，"隨身背"的小型錄音座顯然更為合適。Mini Disc的登場，為世界開展次世代音樂生活的起點。

Luxury Aiwa

Perhaps derived from the OEM version of the MZ-1, the Aiwa AMD-100, the reigning king of portable cassette players in Asia during the 1980s, was released with a distinctive and luxurious champagne-colored finish, giving the solid and substantial body an air of elegance and opulence. It could be considered of the most beautiful 1st generation MD player.

Featuring a multitude of complex button operations, a rare fully motorized disc loading/unloading mechanism, and standalone optical fiber audio input/output, among other lavish features typically reserved for professional equipment, the AMD-100's weighty design seemed to justify its significance.

Capable of recording external digital / analog / MIC sources and taking advantage of MD's unique optical-magnetic principles, it offered powerful editing capabilities, allowing for simple and flexible merging, splitting, moving, erasing, and other unprecedented editing functions for recorded content.

Its multi function display , capable of showing up to 12 x 2 characters, activated the backlight when connected to DC (using a charger). The substantial battery, however, offered only limited power endurance and lacked support for an external battery pack.

With its lofty price and substantial size, the AMD-100 clearly distanced itself from the Walkman, indicating that it was more suited as a compact recording companion. The introduction of the Mini Disc marked the beginning of a new era in music, opening the door to the next generation of music lifestyle.
