ABSTRACT:
A recording/reproducing apparatus for a disc employing an optical disc for recording information signals as a recording medium. The apparatus includes a disc tray mounted for movement between a position protruded from a casing via an aperture formed in the casing and a position housed within the casing. The disc tray has a recess in which to set the disc. The apparatus includes a movement mechanism for moving the disc tray between the protruded position and the housed position. The movement mechanism has a control gear for moving the disc tray across the inner and the outer sides of the casing. The apparatus also includes an optical pickup for illuminating a light beam on a disc transported by the disc tray and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the tilt relative to the disc of the optical axis of the light beam illuminated by the optical pickup on the disc. The adjustment mechanism is driven by the control gear. The adjustment mechanism includes a guide mechanism for guiding the optical pickup in a radial direction of the disc. The control gear has a further cam groove for adjusting the tilt relative to the disc of the optical axis of the light beam illuminated by the optical pickup on the disc. The further cam groove is engaged by the guide mechanism for adjusting the tilt relative to the disc of the optical axis of the light beam illuminated on the disc.
