Several models of the Sega CD were released. The original model used a front-loading motorized disc tray and sat underneath the Genesis. The second model was redesigned to sit next to the Genesis and featured a top-loading disc tray.<ref name="AllgameCD">{{cite web |author=Beuscher, David |title=Sega CD&nbsp;– Overview |website=[[Allgame]] |access-date=June 27, 2013 |url=http://allgame.com/platform.php?id=36 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141114094429/http://www.allgame.com/platform.php?id=36 |archive-date=November 14, 2014 }}</ref> Sega also released the Genesis CDX (Multi-Mega in Europe), a combined Genesis and Sega CD, with additional functionality as a [[portable CD player]].<ref name=":0" /><ref name="AllgameCDX">{{cite web |last=Marriott |first=Scott Alan |title=Sega Genesis CDX&nbsp;– Overview |website=[[Allgame]] |access-date=June 27, 2013 |url=http://allgame.com/platform.php?id=17675 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141114094412/http://www.allgame.com/platform.php?id=17675 |archive-date=November 14, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Three additional system models were created by other electronics companies. Working with Sega, JVC released the Wondermega, a combination of the Genesis and Sega CD with high-quality audio, on April 1, 1992, in Japan. The Wondermega was redesigned by JVC and released as the X'Eye in North America in September 1994. Its high price kept it out of the hands of average consumers.<ref name=":0" /><ref name="JVC">{{cite web|author=Marriott, Scott Alan|title=JVC X'Eye&nbsp;– Overview|website=[[Allgame]]|access-date=July 2, 2013|url=http://www.allgame.com/platform.php?id=18826|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141114094430/http://www.allgame.com/platform.php?id=18826|archive-date=November 14, 2014}}</ref> Another console, the [[LaserActive]] by [[Pioneer Corporation]], can play Genesis and Sega CD games if equipped with the Mega-LD attachment developed by Sega.<ref name=":0" /><ref name="Pioneer" /> The LaserActive was positioned to compete with the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, but the combined system and Mega-LD pack retailed at too expensive a price for most consumers.<ref name="Pioneer">{{cite web |author=Marriott, Scott Alan |title=Pioneer LaserActive&nbsp;– Overview |website=[[Allgame]] |access-date=July 2, 2013 |url=http://www.allgame.com/platform.php?id=17669 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141114094412/http://www.allgame.com/platform.php?id=17669 |archive-date=November 14, 2014 }}</ref> [[Aiwa]] released the CSD-GM1, a combination Mega Drive and Mega CD unit built into a [[boombox]].<ref name="Retroinspection">{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Retro Gamer]]|title=Retroinspection: Mega Drive|author=Sczepaniak, John|issue=27|year=2006|pages=42–47}}</ref> The CSD-GM1 was released in Japan in 1994.<ref name=":0" />
