Optical disk apparatus

摘要

An optical disk drive has an inserting/ejecting mechanism for commonly performing an insertion and ejection of a CD mounted on a CD carrier and an MO cartridge and a recording and reproducing mechanism for commonly performing processes of a medium. The inserting/ejecting mechanism has: a loading mechanism which is activated when a CD and a CD carrier on which a disk has been mounted or a medium as an MO cartridge are inserted in an inserting/ejecting port and moves the medium to the position of a spindle motor and attaches to a motor rotary shaft; and an ejecting mechanism which is activated on the basis of a medium ejecting instruction and moves the medium to an ejecting position of the inserting/ejecting port after the medium was removed from the spindle motor.
