ABSTRACT:
The recording and/or reproducing apparatus according to the present invention includes a recording and/or reproducing unit finely movably mounted within a main body of the apparatus via plural damper units. The recording and/or reproducing unit has a holder for the disc cartridge rotatably mounted thereon for holding and loading or unloading the disc cartridge on or from the recording and/or reproducing unit. A rotary member is rotatably mounted on the main body of the apparatus for covering the recording and/or reproducing unit. An engagement member is mounted on the inner surface of the rotary member for engaging with the holder for rotating the holder in a direction of loading and unloading the recording medium by an opening of the rotary member. The engagement member is movably mounted on the rotary member. When the rotary member covers the recording and/or reproducing unit, and the recording and/or reproducing unit is finely moved within the main body of the apparatus, so that the recording and/or reproducing unit is contacted with the engagement member, the engagement member is moved so as to follow up with the fine movement of the rotary member. The apparatus also includes a biasing member for perpetually biasing the engagement member in a direction of being engaged with the holder.
