ABSTRACT:
A disc drive is particularly adapted to perform recording and/or reproducing operation with respect to a disc cartridge containing a magnetic optical disc. A known pick-up mechanism is mounted on a base which is, in turn, arranged above a main chassis via damper members for absorbing oscillation and vibration of the main chassis, which might otherwise be transmitted to the disc cartridge to affect the recording/reproducing operation. A loading chassis providing a cartridge accommodating space is arranged above the pick-up base and shiftable between an upper retracted position and a lower operative position, and more particularly it is moved to the lower position along with advancement of the disc cartridge whereas to the upper position along with advancement of a sliding plate arranged slidably with respect to the main chassis. There is provided a lock mechanism for retaining the sliding plate in the advanced position, which will be free from contact with any portion of the disc cartridge when inoperative to allow the sliding plate to protrude outside from the front panel. The sliding plate is provided with guide means which will be made operative during advancement of the sliding plate to ascend the loading chassis but, made inoperative and free from contact with any portion of the loading chassis when the latter is in the lower operative position.
