摘要

An information access apparatus has an activation state permitting an information access to a recording medium, and a non-activation state permitting a change to the activation state. The apparatus comprises: a medium access section that permits, in the activation state, information access and ejection of the recording medium out of the information access apparatus; an instruction operating section that receives instruction operation for instructing the ejection of the recording medium; and an activation control section that controls change from the non-activation state to the activation state of the information access apparatus in such a manner that when the recording medium is loaded, change from the non-activation state to the activation state is permitted in response to reception of the instruction operation by the instruction operating section, and when the recording medium is not loaded, change from the non-activation state to the activation state is inhibited.
