ABSTRACT:
A recording reproducing apparatus reproduces a rotary recording medium which is accommodated within a jacket. The apparatus has a jacket opening enlarging device which is horizontally movable over a turntable, in the vicinity of a lateral inserting opening. For loading the recording, the jacket is inserted into the rear part of the reproducing apparatus where the record is captured and then the jacket is pulled out, leaving the record on the turntable. The jacket opening enlarging device comprises upper and lower enlarging members aligned with the inserting opening and pivotally coupled together to open and close by swinging upwardly and downwardly respectively. Fingers on the enlarging members project towards the inserting opening, which are close to each other when the jacket opening enlarging device is in the vicinity of the inserting opening. A rotating mechanism swingably opens the upper and lower enlarging members so that the fingers open the jacket engaging with rims as the jacket opening enlarging device moves toward the rear part. An enlarging member locking mechanism interlocks the upper and lower enlarging members for keeping them closed to shut the inserting opening when the jacket opening enlarging device is positioned in the vicinity of the inserting opening, and release the interlock upon insertion of the case.
