ABSTRACT:
A disc cartridge including a cartridge body formed with an aperture for exposing at least a part of the signal recording area of an accommodated disc, and a shutter member slidably mounted on the cartridge body for opening or closing the aperture, is disclosed. The cartridge body is provided with a shutter opening groove extending along the sliding direction of the shutter member which is parallel to the direction of insertion of the disc cartridge into a recording and/or reproducing apparatus adapted for recording and/or reproducing information signals on or from the disc, and a mistaken insertion inhibiting groove extending parallel to the shutter opening groove and having a length shorter than that of the shutter opening groove. Mistaken insertion of the disc cartridge may be inhibited by mistaken insertion inhibiting pins provided in the recording and/or reproducing apparatus for mating with each of these grooves.
