DISK RECORDING AND/OR REPRODUCING DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a disk recording and/or reproducing apparatus in which a disk-like recording medium such as an optical disk is transported between a disk loading portion for recording and/or reproducing information and a disk entrance and exit slot into and from which the disk-like recording medium is inserted and ejected. The disk recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a pair of transport rollers which can hold the disk-like recording medium in the diametrical direction and a drive means for rotating a first transport roller of the pair of transport rollers and wherein a second transport roller of the pair of transport rollers is fixed and the drive means rotates the first transport roller to rotate the disk-like recording medium by rotation force so that the disk-like recording medium is transported between a disk loading portion for recording and/or reproducing information and a disk entrance and exit slot. Users can transport the disk-like recording medium, between the disk loading portion and the disk entrance and exit slot by only touching the outer peripheral edge of the disk-like recording medium in the diametrical direction. Therefore, when the disk is transported, since no members contact with the signal recording surface, a foreign matter can be prevented from being pressed against the signal recording surface, a foreign matter can be prevented from damaging the signal surface and hence an information signal can be read and written with high reliability.
