ABSTRACT:
A changer-type disk device includes a disk storage section holding disks arranged in the axial direction of the disks; a drive unit for reproducing and/or recording information from/in a disk selected from the disks in the disk storage section; a drive activating mechanism for moving the drive unit back and forth between a drive position where the selected disk is driven and a retracted position where no disk is driven; and pressing members. The pressing members come into pressure contact with the circumferential edges of the waiting disks held in the disk storage section to push them toward the disk storage section from the outside in the radial direction, and are separated therefrom when the drive unit is moved from the drive position to the retracted position. Accordingly, the waiting disks can be locked in the radial direction; thus, a rattle noise occurring from the waiting disks during driving of the selected disk can be reduced.
