A loading device for a recording medium which includes a manually operated ejection member, a lock member inhibiting dismounting of a loaded recording medium, an ejection transmission member mounted for movement between a transmission position to intrude into a movement trajectory of the ejection member and a transmission releasing position to be withdrawn from the movement trajectory, the ejection transmission member being moved by movement of the ejection member for moving the lock member when in the transmission position, a movement mechanism movably attached to the ejection transmission member moves the ejection transmission member between the transmission and transmission release positions, and, biasing means for biasing the ejection transmission member toward the transmission position, wherein, except during recording or reproduction modes, the movement mechanism puts the ejection transmission member at the transmission position if the ejection member is in the lock position when the ejection transmission member is moved, and the movement means abuts the ejection transmission member against the ejection member under the bias of the biasing means if the ejection member is in the eject position when the ejection transmission member is moved, such that if the ejection member is then moved into the lock position, the ejection transmission member is moved by the biasing means into the transmission position, and wherein, during recording or reproduction modes, the movement mechanism puts the ejection transmission member at the transmission release position.
