摘要:
A disc recording and/or reproducing apparatus in which a cartridge container has a number of disc cartridges loaded internal sections without stacking of the disc cartridges by arraying the disc cartridges in one plane in a matrix configuration includes a rotation supporting substrate supporting a driving part supporting substrate carrying a disc rotation driving mechanism and an optical pickup approached to and separated from the disc cartridge, a stationary part support substrate rotatably supporting the rotation supporting substrate, a rotation driving mechanism for rotating the rotation supporting mechanism, and a driving part supporting substrate lift mechanism for bringing the disc rotation driving mechanism and the optical pickup towards the disc cartridge or separating them away from the disc cartridge. Plural discs may be sequentially reproduced without displacing the disc cartridge by rotationally driving the rotating supporting substrate and bringing the disc rotationally driving mechanism and the optical pickup towards the disc cartridge or separating them away from the disc cartridge.
