ABSTRACT:
A disc drive for use with a disc-shaped recording medium, includes a disc driving mechanism for driving the recording medium mounted on a disc mounting surface thereof and a clamping mechanism for clamping the recording medium on the disc mounting surface of the disc drive mechanism. A further driving mechanism is provided for moving the clamping mechanism into a clamping position in which it clamps the recording medium on the disc mounting surface and maintains the clamping mechanism in the clamping position. A motor drives the further driving mechanism. A manually operated mechanism releases transmission between the further driving mechanism and the motor, and manually operates the further driving mechanism to eject the recording medium out of the disc drive.
