Disc type recording/reproduction device

Abstract

A disk recording-reproducing apparatus ensures a large transport distance of a tray which moves a disk-shaped recording medium between an ejecting position and a recording-reproducing position while decreasing a dimension in the transport direction. A drive section ( 47 ) is built into a tray ( 13 ) which can be extracted from and retracted into an external chassis ( 10 ) and moves a disk-shaped recording medium between the ejecting position and the recording-reproducing position. A pinion ( 56 ) comprises an output end of the drive section ( 47 ) and rolls on a rack ( 24 ) of a chucking slider ( 20 ) to self-propel the tray ( 13 ). After the tray ( 13 ) completely moves to the recording-reproducing apparatus side, an output from the drive section ( 47 ) of the tray ( 13 ) is used to move the chucking slider ( 20 ) to the ejecting direction of the tray ( 13 ). Then, a cam groove ( 23 ) provided on the chucking slider ( 20 ) is used to raise a base unit ( 30 ).

1 : A disk recording-reproducing apparatus which rotates a disk-shaped recording medium and uses a pickup for recording and/or reproducing operations, said apparatus comprising: a tray to move said disk-shaped recording medium between a recording-reproducing position and an ejecting position; and a transport means for moving said tray between said recording-reproducing position and said ejecting position; and a detection means for detecting a type of a disk-shaped recording medium placed on said tray, wherein a detection result of said detection means changes an output or speed of said transport means.  
   
   
       2 : The disk recording-reproducing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said detection means detects a distinction between cartridge type and bare disk type disk-shaped recording media.
