A disc reproducing apparatus comprises a turntable which is vertically movable between an upper position in a reproducing condition and a lower position in a nonreproducing condition; a cartridge which is movable between a reproduction start position and a reproduction end position; cartridge driving mechanism, with a motor, for driving the cartridge from the reproduction start position toward the reproduction end position. The cartridge driving mechanism includes a transmission mechanism which transmits the driving force of the motor to the cartridge when the turntable is located at the upper position, and which does not transmit the driving force of the motor to the cartridge to render the cartridge free to move when the turntable is positioned at the lower position; and a coil spring for urging the cartridge from the reproduction end position to the reproduction start position. The cartridge is returned to the reproduction start position by the coil spring when the turntable is positioned at the lower position.
