ABSTRACT:
An automatic disc selection type reproducing apparatus comprises a disc accommodating mechanism having disc accommodating portions for accommodating discs, and a reproducer part provided below and movable along the disc accommodating mechanism. The disc accommodating mechanism is substantially arranged horizontally, and the discs are accommodated within the disc accommodating portions in a vertical state where a disc surface of one disc opposes a disc surface of an adjacent disc. The reproducer part moves and stops at a position opposing a disc which is designated by designating an address of the disc accommodating portion which accommodates this disc. The reproducer part has a disc carrying mechanism for carrying the disc which assumes the vertical state, upwardly and downwardly between the disc accommodating mechanism and the reproducer part, while supporting a lower portion of an outer peripheral edge of the disc. The disc carrying mechanism supplies the disc from the disc accommodating portion to the reproducer part by use of the weight of the disc when playing the disc, and returns the disc into the disc accommodating portion by separating the disc from the reproducer part when the playing of the disc is completed.
