Vibration-resistant multiple-disc player.

摘要

A multiple-disc player includes a player housing (102) in which a disc holder (105) housing discs held on respective player-like trays (111, 112) is loaded. Desired discs are selected and transferred successively from the disc holder (105) onto the disc carrying surface of a turntable (170) by a disc pickup/transfer mechanism (123, 125, 126, 131, 149, 193) for continuous disc playback operation. A playback means (168, 170, 171) including the turntable (170) is supported on a support member (166) through a vibration-resistant mechanism (167). The support member (166) is movable between retracted and unretracted positions with respect to the trays (111, 112) as they are pushed out of the disc holder (105). When the support member (166) is in the unretracted position, the playback means (168, 170, 171) is fixed to the player housing (102) by a lock mechanism (178, 179) for increased resistance to vibration.
