ABSTRACT:
A disk player capable of selectively reproducing a plurality of optical disks includes a rotary table, a reproducing mechanism, a supporting member and a drive mechanism. The rotary table includes a plurality of concave portions on which a plurality of disk-like recording mediums are set. The reproducing mechanism includes a disk rotation drive portion for rotating the disk and a head for reading out an information signal from the disk. The supporting member includes the reproducing mechanism. The supporting member is moved between an elevated position at which the disk is rotated by the disk rotation drive portion and in which an information is reproduced from the disk by the head and a lowered position at which the disk rotation drive portion is detached from the disk-like recording medium. The drive mechanism drives the rotary table and the supporting member. The drive mechanism includes a Geneva gear provided at the rotation center of the rotary table and a rotary drive portion for rotating the Geneva gear. The rotary drive portion includes an operation portion for moving the supporting member between the elevated position and the lowered position.
