ABSTRACT:
In a disc apparatus, an insertion or removal operation of a disc can be performed without drawing the entire tray from the disc apparatus. A tray is movable between a disc loading position and a disc exchanging position. The tray is located in the disc apparatus so that a disc placed on the tray is loaded to the disc apparatus when the tray is at the disc loading position. A portion of the tray is drawn from the disc apparatus so that the disc can be placed on or removed from the tray when the tray is at the disc exchanging position. A cover is provided above the tray so as to enclose the tray when the tray is at the first position. A cover opening mechanism opens the cover by being linked with a movement of the tray in a direction from the disc loading position to the disc exchanging position.
