Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a disk drive device for handling information on a disk recording medium. Background technique

[0002] In recent years, optical discs have been widely used as disc recording media, including a read-only type represented by DVD-ROM, a record-once type represented by DVD-R, and a rewritable type represented by DVD-RAM and DVR-RW, which can be used in computer , record and playback externally attached memory for video systems, etc.

[0003] An optical disc drive device that records and reproduces information to and from an optical disc is provided with a housing having a disc loading slot for loading and unloading a disc into and from the housing and a disc tray. The disc carrier is movable between a pull-out position, in which discs can be loaded and unloaded, and a drive position, in which a disc drawn into the housing can be driven.

[0004] Included in the housing is a motor, which supports and rotates a loaded optic...
