ABSTRACT:
A holder has inserted therein a cartridge containing a disc. A sliding member has an operating member, wherein the sliding member slides along a direction in response to insertion of the cartridge into the holder so as to move the holder into a loading position, wherein the sliding member slides along another direction in response to operation of the operating member by a user so as to move the holder into a insertion/ejection position, and wherein the disc apparatus accesses the disc in a condition in which the holder is in the loading position and a user either takes out the cartridge from the disc apparatus or inserts a cartridge containing a disc into the disc apparatus in a condition in which the holder is in the insertion/ejection position. A guiding portion guides the movement of the operating member by engaging a side of the operating member, wherein the side of the operating member comprises a part approximately located at a side end of the operating member if a disc-surface direction refers to a horizontal direction, the disc-surface direction being a direction along which a recording surface of a disc extends when a cartridge containing the disc is inserted in the holder, and wherein the guiding member guides the vertical movement of the operating member, the vertical movement being a movement along a direction substantially perpendicular to the disc-surface direction.
