ABSTRACT:
A recording and/or reproducing device that includes a disc stocker for holding a plurality of disc cartridges in tiers so that each disc cartridge is partially exposed to outside. A transport device selects one of the disc cartridges held by the disc stocker and transports the selected disc cartridge to a recording and/or reproducing unit. The transport device thrusts toward the inside of the disc stocker to initiate the operation of selecting one of the disc cartridges and transporting the selected disc cartridge to the recording and/or reproducing unit. The transport device includes a movably supported movement member and an endless driving belt having a portion lying along a path of movement of the movement member. The endless belt is placed around and fed by a driving pulley member. A follower pulley member is arranged on the movement member and carries the endless driving belt placed therearound. A profiling member is movably mounted on the movement member and moved by rotation of the follower pulley member. A cam member arranged along a path of movement of the movement member limits movement of the profiling member relative to the movement member.
