DISC CARTRIDGE CONTAINER, AND DISC RECORDER AND/OR REPRODUCER USING THIS CONTAINER.

摘要

In a recorder and/or reproducer, a disc cartridge container is loaded, in which a plurality of disc cartridges are accommodated without superposition of the cartridges by arranging a plurality of cartridge housing parts storing the disc cartridges in a matrix on one plane. This disc recorder and/or reproducer is provided with a rotary support base which supports a driver support base on which are mounted a disc rotating mechanism capable of approaching and parting from the disc cartridge, and an optical pick-up; a fixed support base which so supports the rotary support base as to rotate; a rotating mechanism which rotates the rotary support base; and a driver support base lifting mechanism which lifts and lowers the driver support base in order to allow the disc rotation driving mechanism and the optical pick-up to approach and part from the disc cartridge. By rotating the rotary support base, and by causing the disc rotation driving mechanism and the optical pick-up to approach and part from the disc cartridge, data on a plurality of discs are reproduced in sequence without moving the disc cartridges.
