逆天大躍進

相較初代MD在內外端莊隆重，似乎被賦予加速MD普及重責大任的MZ-R2鄭重登場，貫徹了斷捨離的精簡信念，採用新研發的主基板、光學頭，尤其砍掉綜藝效果的全電動進 / 退碟機構，並導入新規的小型充電池等成功大瘦身。

幾近一手掌握的小巧尺寸，外出時也不再明顯負擔的重量，與前作MZ-1相較體積減少60%，重量更是大犯規的縮減55%(含充電池310g)，也創下MD Recorder隔代最大體積差記錄。

隨著新機身一新的造型設計，金屬灰色調鋪上磨砂紋理，表面亮光塗層如鋼琴烤漆般映照反射。也許是為了減少數位科技的距離感，渾身大圓角和曲線構成的柔性設計語言呈現，卻畫虎不成地顯得質俗廉價。

搭載最大9文字顯示的雙行液晶螢幕，時間、光碟狀態、電力等皆可一目了然。並配備基本線控操作，並採可自行替換的分離式耳機設計，讓科技與實用更進一步~

機面鑲嵌一塊最大9文字顯示的多元液晶螢幕。此外也借鏡了卡帶隨身聽的Hold Shuttle以簡便直覺的邏輯防止誤操控。

小機身大功勞地採用僅前作約40%重量的LIP-12新型鋰電池。滿充電擁有2.5小時的續航，但充電時間也暴增至5小時之久...提供了外接電池盒設計，需AAx 3的驅動饒是削弱了便攜性，與充電池併用最大6.5小時續航。

基於有得必有失的商業策略，部分功能也隨著輕巧的機身一起"減重"了~Recorder必備的文字輸入、曲目移動以及光纖輸出等重點功能被刪除。

Compact  is Future

Compared to the grandeur of the first-generation MD both internally and externally, the MZ-R2 seemed to have a solemn mission to accelerate the widespread adoption of MD. It adhered to the minimalist philosophy, introducing a newly developed mainboard, optical head, and notably removing the all-electric disc loading/unloading mechanism that added fancy effects. It also incorporated a new compact rechargeable battery, successfully shedding considerable weight.

Almost fitting into the palm of one's hand, it was no longer a noticeable burden when taken outdoors. Compared to its predecessor, the MZ-1, it reduced its volume by 60% and impressively trimmed down its weight by 55% (including the battery, 310g), setting a record for the largest volume reduction in MD Recorder history.

With its refreshed design, featuring a metallic gray tone with a matte texture and a glossy coating reflecting light like piano lacquer, it tried to bridge the gap with digital technology. However, its all-rounded and curvy design language, possibly intended to reduce the sense of distance from digital technology, ironically gave it a somewhat cheap appearance.

Equipped with a x2 line LCD screen that displayed up to 9 characters, it allowed at-a-glance viewing of the time, disc status, and battery level. It featured basic line control operations and a separable headphone design that could be easily replaced, further enhancing both technology and practicality.

The front panel housed a versatile LCD screen that could display up to 9 characters. Additionally, it borrowed the Hold Shuttle from cassette portable players to prevent accidental operations with its straightforward and intuitive logic.

Despite its compact size, it impressively employed the LIP-12 Li-ion battery, weighing only about 40% of its predecessor. With a full charge, it provided 2.5 hours of battery life, but the charging time had also significantly increased to a lengthy 5 hours. It offered an external battery pack design, powered by three AA batteries, which slightly compromised portability but provided a maximum of 6.5 hours of continuous playback when used in conjunction with the rechargeable battery.

As part of a give-and-take business strategy, some functions were also 'trimmed down' with the lightweight body. Essential functions for recorders such as text input, track navigation, and optical output were removed.
