Disk clamper, recording and/or playback apparatus and method for loading an inserted recording medium

摘要

Disclosed is a disk clamper (9) for cooperating with a disk table (17) to chuck a disk-type recording medium (100), comprising: a support section (10) disposed in an opposing relationship to the disk table (17); and a stabilizer (11) supported on the support section (10) for movement toward and away from the disk table (17); wherein, when the disk-type recording medium (100) is chucked, the stabilizer (11) is attracted to the disk table (17) with the disk-type recording medium (100) interposed therebetween, but when the disk-type recording medium (100) is not chucked, the stabilizer (11) is attracted to the support section (10). Accordingly, chucking operation in an assured manner can be realized.
