Disc drive unit

摘要

A disc driving apparatus for driving a magneto-optical disc recording medium (202) accommodated in a disc cassette (250) is proposed, said apparatus comprising a magnetic head (80) for applying a magnetic field to a magneto-optical disc, a magnetic-head moving mechanism (380) for moving said magnetic head between a loading position and an unloading position, an eject mechanism (360) for ejecting said disc cassette and a motor. The disc driving apparatus further comprises transmission means for transmitting a rotational force of said motor to said magnetic-head moving mechanism by rotation of said motor in its one rotational direction and for transmitting the rotational force of said motor to said eject mechanism by rotation of said motor in its other rotational direction and control means for controlling said motor so that a rotational speed of said motor in said other rotational direction is faster than rotational speed of said motor in said one rotational direction. <IMAGE>
