ABSTRACT:
A disk reproducing apparatus having an auto-changer allowing information recorded on both sides of a disk to be reproduced. The apparatus has a storing unit for storing disks having information recorded on both sides, a reproducing unit for reproducing the information recorded on a disk, and a transferring unit, for extracting a disk from the storing unit and holding it in a disk loader and transferring it to the reproducing unit. The disk loader has first and second disk holding means which hold the disk on one and the other side surface, respectively of the disk loader by extracting the disk from the storing unit and moving the disk in a direction parallel to the surface of the disk, and a rotating-down means for rotating-down the disk loader toward either of two directions opposite to each other. The transferring unit transfers the disk between a predetermined position of the storing unit and the reproducing unit by holding the disk in the first disk holding means to set one surface of the disk in a reproducible state, and transfers the disk between a predetermined position of the storing unit and the reproducing unit by holding the disk in the second disk holding means to set the other surface of the disk in a reproducible state.
