The slider comprises a wrong-insertion preventing lug projecting inwardly from the slider, which can be engaged in a groove formed on one edge of a disc cartridge when the disc cartridge is inserted into the holder, and the switch level has a free end portion which is positioned outside a free end part of the wrong-insertion preventing lug.
