ABSTRACT:
A playback/recording apparatus for a cartridge-contained disk includes a casing having a slot, a cartridge holder having an opening aligned with the slot, a conveyance mechanism for moving the cartridge holder and cartridge therein between a fully inserted position of the cartridge and a playback/recording position, and a playback/recording mechanism for recording on or reproducing from the disk. The apparatus has resilient members, mounted on the holder, for engaging with the cartridge after insertion. The resilient members are capable of being reciprocated in the directions of insertion and discharge of the cartridge. Stoppers limit the ranges of the reciprocation of the resilient members. During insertion of the cartridge, the resilient members engage with the cartridge and come into contact with recesses in the cartridge. An urging mechanism urges the cartridge toward the outside of a slot. The engagement of the resilient members and recesses in the cartridge, coacting with a forwardmost pair of stoppers, positively prevent the cartridge from springing out of the slot.
