ABSTRACT:
A multimagazine disc player includes an array of magazines removably stored therein each for holding a plurality of discs, and a playback means movable and positionable in alignment with one of the magazines at a time for playing back a selected one of the discs contained in the magazine. The discs stored in the magazines can selectively be played back automatically, and can also easily be replaced with other discs not stored in the disc player. The multimagazine disc player also has a magazine presence/absence detecting means for detecting whether each magazine is loaded or not, so that a wasteful time which would otherwise be consumed by moving the playback means to a position where no magazine is loaded can be eliminated.
