ABSTRACT:
A rotary recording medium reproducing apparatus reproduces a rotary recording medium accommodated within a case. 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 lid member locking and holding mechanism provided at an innermost part of the reproducing apparatus, for locking and leaving the lid member inside the reproducing apparatus when the case is inserted into the reproducing apparatus, and for releasing the locking with respect to the lid member when an empty jacket is inserted into the reproducing apparatus, a lid member connection releasing mechanism for releasing connection of the lid member with respect to the jacket when the case is inserted into and then pulled out from the reproducing apparatus, and for connecting the lid member to the empty jacket when the jacket is inserted into and then pulled out from the reproducing apparatus, a lid member push-back mechanism for pushing back the lid member released from locking in a direction approaching the empty jacket which is inserted, interrelatedly with the locking releasing operation of the lid member locking and holding mechanism, and a mechanism maintained inoperative upon insertion of the case, and rendered operative upon insertion of the empty jacket, for limiting a final insertion position of the empty jacket inside the reproducing apparatus to a halfway position. The halfway position is a position where the lid member locking and holding mechanism operates to release the locking of the lid member and the lid member push-back mechanism operates but where the lid member connection releasing mechanism remains inoperative.
