Abstract
A system for inserting and removing a video disc into and from a player without the need for removing the video disc from its protective cover during said insertion and removal is disclosed. The system includes a clamping device built into the player for protruding into a protective cover during its insertion into the player. The clamping device precludes a removal of the enclosed video disc from the player during the subsequent cover withdrawal. The video disc is transferred to the player turntable when the lid of the player is closed. After playback, the lid is opened and an empty cover is inserted into the player. During the insertion of the empty cover, the video disc is automatically returned to the cover. The withdrawal of the cover after its full insertion into the player, removes the enclosed video disc.
