ABSTRACT:
An optical information recording/reproducing apparatus is provided for recording information with an optical beam in an optical information recording medium enclosed in a cartridge and/or reproducing the information therefrom. The apparatus includes a holder for holding the cartridge to be inserted thereinto, a slide plate for moving the holder between a position where the slide plate receives the cartridge to be inserted into the apparatus and a position where the cartridge is loaded at a predetermined position in the apparatus, an optical head for irradiating the optical beam onto the optical information recording medium in the cartridge to record and/or reproduce information, and a restricting device for restricting movement of the slide plate during recording and/or reproducing information by the optical head. In one embodiment, the apparatus may further include a magnetic head for applying a modulation magnetic field according to the information to the recording medium and a floating slider for supporting the magnetic head to be capable of floating relative to the recording medium, in which the restricting device restricts the movement of the slide plate while the magnetic head is landing on the recording medium.
