ABSTRACT:
In an auto-changer device performing sequential reproduction by loading multiple cartridges each of which has an internal disk, a cartridge handler includes a plurality of holders which hold a cartridge; a plurality of pins asymmetrically fixed to the holder; guide plates having guide grooves for guiding the pins; and a loading hook, which engages and holds a cartridge and which is driven by the force exerted by a spring that also ejects the cartridge, whereby the structure of a cartridge changer can be simplified so that it is not required that the carrier have a plurality of holding functions and the carrier can be moved up and down at the unloading completion position, and the operational time can be shortened.
