ABSTRACT:
A disk apparatus includes a disk tray which holds one of a disk and a disk cartridge at a loaded position. The disk has a first thickness and the cartridge has a second, greater thickness. A plurality of disk supporting members are provided on the tray and support one of the disk and the cartridge thereon, each disk supporting member including a rotatable shaft and a supporting plate, the supporting plate extending parallel to the shaft and being rotatable around a rotating axis of the shaft between a vertical position, located above the shaft, and a horizontal position, located sideways of the shaft. An interlock unit is provided on the tray and rotates the supporting plate of each disk supporting member around the rotating axis of the shaft from the vertical position to the horizontal position when the cartridge is inserted in the tray. The supporting plate at the vertical position supports the disk thereon when the disk is inserted in the tray, and the supporting plate is set at the horizontal position when the cartridge is inserted in the tray.
