ABSTRACT:
A rotary recording medium reproducing apparatus reproduces a rotary recording medium on a turntable after an operation is performed in which the case accommodating the rotary recording medium therein is inserted into the reproducing apparatus and the case is then extracted from the reproducing apparatus with leaving the rotary recording medium with the apparatus. The reproducing apparatus comprises a jacket opening enlarging mechanism for engaging with the jacket to enlarge the opening according to the movement of the enlarging mechanism towards the innermost part of the reproducing apparatus from an inserting opening according to the insertion of the case, and a locking mechanism provided at a position substantially center along right and left directions of the enlarging mechanism, for normally locking the enlarging mechanism in the vicinity of the inserting opening to restrict the movement of the enlarging mechanism towards the innermost part of the reproducing apparatus. The locking mechanism is maintained in its original locking state upon insertion of the case or jacket in a state where a front edge of the case or jacket is slanted with respect to the enlarging mechanism, and assumes a locking released state only when the front edge is parallel with the enlarging mechanism and the locking mechanism is pushed by the front edge.
