ABSTRACT:
A disc reproducing apparatus is disclosed in which a large- or small-diameter disc inserted through a disc inserting opening is transferred to a predetermined position within a player, a clamper arm extending over a turntable on which the disc is placed is operated to fix the disc onto the turntable, and information recorded in the disc is reproduced by rotating the turntable. A pair of stopper arms are disposed on the clamper arm, each of which having an abutment which abuts the periphery of the disc. The pair of stopper arms are disposed such that when the small-diameter disc arrives at the predetermined position on the turntable, the angle made by the longitudinal axis of the respective stopper arms is smaller than the angle made by the radial lines connecting each stopper and the center of the small-diameter disc, but greater than the angle made by the radial lines connecting each stopper and the center of the large-diameter disc when the large-diameter disc is place.
