A disk player including a pickup unit having a locking pin, and a locking mechanism which engages with the locking pin. The locking mechanism comprises a locking means for engaging and holding the locking pin when an actuator is de-energized, and an unlocking means which is actuated in conjunction with the application of power so that the disk player will be in playback mode. The unlocking means cooperates with the locking means when the locking pin is engaged by the locking means. The actuator is energized for an appropriate time after the application of power to the disk player so as to unlock the pickup unit, thus reducing the consumption of power and the generation of heat in the disk player. |
