ABSTRACT:
An automatic disc-changing apparatus for selectively transporting cartridge holders from a standby position to a recording and reproducing position, or from a recording and reproducing position to a standby position. The cartridge holders are capable of accommodating a plurality of cartridges containing discs to record information thereon and thereby transport any single cartridge. The automatic disc-changing apparatus comprises a plurality of cartridge holders for holding the cartridges; a standby-holding mechanism for holding the cartridge holder in the standby position; a transport-holding mechanism for selectively engaging with the cartridge holder for transport; a transfer mechanism for moving the transport-holding mechanism horizontally to the front and rear of the apparatus; and an elevator mechanism for raising and lowering the transport-holding mechanism. This apparatus is compact, simple in configuration and convenient to use.
