ABSTRACT:
A disc recording and/or reproducing apparatus adapted for selectively taking out discs accommodated within an accommodating unit to carry out recording and/or reproduction of information signals has an accommodating unit disposed at the front side within the apparatus body and within which a plurality of trays on which discs are respectively mounted are accommodated in parallel relation. A taking-out mechanism selectively draws out any one of a plurality of trays accommodated within the accommodating unit to take out the disc mounted on the tray. A recording and/or reproducing unit carries out recording and/or reproduction of information signals with respect to the disc which has been taken out by the taking-out mechanism toward the backward side within the apparatus body. An eject mechanism selectively draws out the remaining trays accommodated within the accommodating unit in an external direction of the apparatus body. A control independently drives and controls the eject mechanism and the taking-out mechanism. The taking-out mechanism selectively draws out trays from the accommodating unit, and the eject mechanism selectively draws out trays in an external direction of the apparatus body. This enables eject operation of any other tray even if information signals are being recorded on or reproducted from the disc.
