Apparatus for transporting discoid record medium and apparatus for recording and/or reproduction

Abstract

An apparatus for transporting a discoid record medium (2) comprises a first transporting mechanism (9a) for transporting a first disc (2L) and a second disc (2S) smaller than the first disc (2L) in diameter from a loading position to a reproducing or recording position and a second transporting mechanism (9b) disposed at a distance from the smaller-diameter second disc (2S) transported to the reproducing or recording position and transporting the first disc (2L) transported by the first transporting mechanism (9a) to the reproducing or recording position to a storage position to control the transport of the second disc (2S).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a transport device for disc recording media for transporting multiple types of disc recording media having different diameters, and a recording and / or reproducing device using the transport device. [0002] This application claims priority based on the invention patent application No. 2001-347398 filed in Japan on November 13, 2001, and is incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] Conventionally, an apparatus using a disk-shaped recording medium such as an optical disk has provided a loading mechanism for mounting the disk as an information recording medium in a playback unit or a recording unit in the main body of the device. The loading mechanism provided in the recording and reproducing apparatus uses a tray type or a slot insertion type. [0004] In the tray-type loading mechanism, disks are loaded using a tray that moves inside and outside the main body of the device. In this device mechanis...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0010] (1) Used to make the positioning of the disc relative to the playback unit in the carding standby position difficult

[0011] (2) It is difficult to load between the regeneration part and the storage part

[0012] (3) Arrangement is difficult when storing in the tray storage unit

Using an adapter for changing the outer diameter of the disc not only makes it difficult to ensure that the disc is securely attached to the adapter, but also requires the user to install the disc to the adapter, complicating the operation

In such a recording and / or reproducing device, it is necessary to study a countermeasure for preventing a problem that occurs when a disk with a diameter of 8 cm is inserted from the insertion port without being installed on the adapter by mistake.
