ABSTRACT:
CDs and MDs are recorded/reproduced by using the same disk motor and optical pickup so that the cost and space of the recording/reproducing apparatus can be reduced. Shafts formed upright on the clamper arm for supporting a clamper are inserted into bifurcated prolong holes of main sliders and L-character shaped prolong holes of main side plates, and are biased by springs. A holder for holding an MD cartridge moves as a subsidiary slider is moved backward so that the MD can be attracted to a turntable. When the main slider is moved forward, the clamper arm is moved backward and is not allowed to move downward. A CD is transported onto the turntable by a loading roller. As the main slider moves forward thereafter, the clamper arm 7 lowers to clamp the CD.
