ABSTRACT:
A rotary recording medium reproducing apparatus reproduces a rotary recording medium accommodated within a case where the case comprises a jacket provided with a space for accommodating the rotary recording medium and an opening for allowing the rotary recording medium to go in and out of the jacket, and a lid member inserted through the opening of the jacket for closing the opening of the jacket. The rotary recording medium reproducing apparatus comprises an inserting opening through which the case is inserted, a turntable for rotating the rotary recording medium, a lid member locking mechanism and rotary recording medium clamping mechanism provided at an innermost part of the reproducing apparatus at an opposite side from the inserting opening with respect to the turntable, where the rotary recording medium clamping mechanism consists of an upper clamping member and a lower clamping member which is at a downwardly inclined rotated position upon non-clamping state and at a horizontal rotational position upon clamping state, an operating mechanism pushed and displaced by the case inserted into the reproducing apparatus, for operating the lid member locking mechanism and the rotary recording medium clamping mechanism, a locking mechanism for locking the operating mechanism at a final displaced position, and a restricting mechanism constructed from a part of the lower clamping member of the rotary recording medium clamping mechanism and a part of the operating mechanism, for restricting the displacing movement of the operating mechanism towards the final displaced position at an intermediate position when the lower clamping member is at the downwardly inclined rotated position.
