ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a disc transfer mechanism that includes a simply configured tray to be moved and that is reliable in installing and removing a disc. When a tray (1) is drawn out as shown in FIG. 8(a), a positioning protrusion (33a) of a disc receiving member (23) determines a position at which a disc (34) is placed. The tray (1) is pushed in as shown in FIGS. 8(b) to 8(c) until a central hole (35) in the disc (34) reaches a position over a turntable (9). Subsequently, a disc receiving member (23) moves to the front end of the tray (1) relative to the movement of the tray to the internal end as shown in FIGS. 8(d) and (e) to enable the disc to be installed and removed stably.
