ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a disk apparatus reduced in size and thickness, by reducing the size of a means which detects the insertion of a disk into the disk apparatus. In the disk apparatus of the present invention, an electric circuit board and disk insertion-detecting levers are provided on the floating unit, and the disk insertion-detecting levers are disposed in the proximity of the disk insertion/extraction port, and are pressed down and rotated by the outer edge of the inserted disk-shaped recording medium, to thereby directly drive a switch which outputs a disk detection signal to the electric circuit board.
