ABSTRACT:
A disc recording/reproducing apparatus includes a recording/reproducing section, a disc tray, a driving mechanism, a rotary table, a lock mechanism for the disc tray and an oscillation suppression mechanism. The recording/reproducing mechanism is provided in a main body of the apparatus for recording/reproducing information signals on or from the disc. The disc tray may be moved between a position facing the recording/reproducing section in the main body of the apparatus and an unloading position outside of the main body of the apparatus. The driving mechanism causes the disc tray to be moved between the loading position and the unloading position. The rotary table is rotatably mounted on the disc tray and has plural disc-setting sections extending radially from the center of rotation. The rotary table may be rotated relative to the disc tray for selectively locating one of the plural disc setting sections at a position facing the recording/reproducing section. The lock mechanism engages the rotary table to prevent rotation thereof when the disc tray is not located at the loading position or at the unloading position. The oscillation suppression mechanism inhibits oscillatory movements of the disc tray at its loading or unloading positions.
