A disk playback apparatus has a lower chassis unit carrying a stack of disk holders. A stage unit carries major components of the disk playback apparatus including side select plates for selectively lifting or lowering the disk holders, a drive base unit for playing back a disk, a horizontal driving gear mechanism for moving the drive base unit into a space which is formed as a result of the selective upward or downward movement of the disk holders, and a loading roller for loading and ejecting a disk. The stage unit is moved up and down in accordance with the position of a selected disk holder, by the power of a first motor, through the actions of a gear mechanism, mode pate and slide plates.
