Automatic disc player system with disc selecting and loading means

摘要

An automatic disc player system with means for automatically selecting the disc and loading the disc on a turntable. A carrier assembly including a pickup means is slidable along a longitudinal axis of a disc holder portion in which the discs are arranged face to face on a longitudinal holder member. In order to load the disc on the turntable, a slider having a roller to guide the disc forces the same to a position of play where a clamper having a portion cooperative with the turntable catches the disc to load the same on the turntable. The operation of selecting and loading the disc is controlled by a microcomputer assisted control system.
