ABSTRACT:
A disk apparatus includes a playback unit having a reading unit for reading information recorded on a disk, and a turntable on which the disk is placed, the playback unit being movable between a lateral side of a disk conveying path and a central portion of the disk, an arc-shaped stocker for stocking the disk, the stocker being shaped like a part of a circle whose more than half of its area including a center is removed in order to make it possible for the playback unit to move toward the central portion of the disk, and a supporting member disposed separately from the stocker opposite to a part of the disk which is not held by the stocker, the supporting member restricting horizontal movements of the disk.
