與Sony有志一同地'94年缺席的Sharp，在醞釀一年之後主打錄・放・編輯全能的MD-M20登場，強調全方位對應自用~商務各種情境。

Sharp的設計師們似乎意在留白 + 集約規劃打造質感風格，只是機能導向的造型讓整體顯得制式化，而巨大醒目的主按鍵更凸顯了機身的量感。

可能是MD首搭載"Sampling・Rate Converter(取樣轉換)"，對應如BS衛星節目、DAT等不同頻率的數位格式錄音。

支援Mono REC，以單聲道形式錄音讓74分光碟躍升至200%的148分，在MD空白片尚屬天價的初期，對於如會議、演講等非音樂用途解決了錙銖必較的時間壓力痛點。

可能是MD首支援雖自豪但不甚實用的片假名輸入，也對應曲目移動、合併、分割等MD專屬的強大編輯性能。

對比於Sony僅初代MD才有但Sharp仍保留了奢華的數位光纖輸 / 出端子~並為分離式通規耳機線控設計，讓用家能任意搭配耳機使用。

配備的鋰充電池雖續航略增長錄 2.5 / 放3.5小時，但代價為長久的5小時(2小時達90%蓄電)。外接龐大的電池盒(AAx 6)則一口氣提升至錄7 / 放12小時。

Sharp, which was absent from the '94 scene along with Sony, introduced the MD-M20 after a year of preparation, emphasizing its all-around capabilities in recording, playback, and editing for personal and business use in various situations.

Sharp's designers seem to focus on creating a sense of quality with a minimalist and concentrated design. However, the functionality-oriented styling makes the overall appearance seem standardized, and the large and conspicuous main button highlights the substantial feel of the device.

Possibly due to being the first MD to feature a "Sampling Rate Converter," it supports recording in different digital formats such as BS satellite programs and DAT with varying frequencies.

It supports Mono REC, recording in monaural format, elevating the recording time of a 74-minute disc to 200% with a 148-minute capacity. In the early days when blank MDs were still expensive, this addressed the time pressure pain points for non -musical purposes like meetings and lectures.

Possibly the first MD to support the somewhat proud but not very practical input of katakana characters, it also offers powerful editing capabilities exclusive to MDs, such as track movement, merging, and splitting.

In contrast to Sony, which only had digital optical input / output terminals in the first generation of MDs, Sharp retained the luxurious digital optical input/output terminals and designed a separate 3.5mm earphone jack remote control , allowing users to freely choose their headphones.

Equipped with a lithium rechargeable battery,increased slightly to REC 2.5 / play 3.5 hrs. However, the trade-off is a longer 5-hour charging time (90% charge achieved in 2 hrs). Connecting the external large battery box (AAx 6) boosts REC 7 / 12 hrs in one go.
