ABSTRACT:
A magneto-optical disc apparatus, including a holder which holds a magneto-optical disc cartridge and which is movable between a loaded position, in which the holder is close to an optical head, and an unloaded position, in which the holder is apart from the optical head. The magneto-optical disc apparatus further includes a magnetic head which is movable between an initial position, in which the magnetic head is apart form the optical head, and an effective position, in which the magnetic head is close to the magneto-optical disc and can apply a magnetic field to the magneto-optical disc to record and/or play-back data. The magneto-optical disc apparatus features a mechanism for guiding the holder between the loaded position and the unloaded position. The apparatus further features a mechanism for guiding the magnetic head between the effective position and the initial position, and through an intermediate step position between the effective and initial positions.
