ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a disc drive apparatus including a rotation drive mechanism for driving or rotating an optical disc, which has a disc table onto which the optical disc is to be placed, and a motor for rotating the disc table, a clamp member for clamping the optical disc jointly with the disc table, the optical disc being placed on the disc table, and a hold mechanism for rotatably holding the clamp member, which causes the clamp member to shift toward the disc table with the axis of the clamp member being substantially parallel to the axis of the disc table when the clamp member clamps the optical disc jointly with the disc table, and causes-the clamp member to shift away from the disc table with the axis of the clamp member being inclined against the axis of the disc table when the clamp member releases the clamp state of the optical disc clamped by the clamp member and the disc table.
