ABSTRACT:
A cartridge loading apparatus comprises a loading/ejecting and opening/closing mechanism disposed in a housing. The mechanism receives a cartridge which encloses an optical recording disk therein and includes first and second cases from a port formed on the housing in a closed state wherein the first and second cases are in contact with each other, opens the cartridge by separating the first and second cases from each other to expose an area of the disk during the receiving operation, ejects at least part of the cartridge outside of the housing through the port, and closes the cartridge by bringing the first and second cases into contact with each other during the ejecting operation. The central portion of the disk after the opening thereof by the mechanism is clamped between a turntable and clamper, and the exposed area of the disk between the first and second cases is recorded/reproduced by an optical head using a laser beam.
