<p>A loading device for a disc-shaped recording medium, such as an optical disc, includes a recording/ reproducing unit, a loading member, a transport mechanism, a control mechanism and a chuck mechanism. The recording/ reproducing unit has a rotating driving mechanism for rotationally driving the disc-shaped recording medium and a head for recording and/or reproducing information signals on or from the disc-shaped recording medium. The loading member is arranged facing the recording/ reproducing unit on the chassis for movement along the chassis surface. The transport mechanism transports the disc-shaped recording medium introduced into the apparatus as far as the recording/reproducing unit. The control mechanism releases the disc transport operation by the transport mechanism by the loading member being moved on the chassis. After the transport operation of transporting the disc-shaped recording medium by the transport mechanism is discontinued by the control mechanism, the chuck mechanism chucks the disc-shaped recording medium transported by the movement of the loading member on the chassis in cooperation with the rotating driving mechanism of the recording/reproducing unit. <IMAGE></p> |
