Abstract
The player is provided with a pair of spaced apart spine latching members which hook up with an inner record retaining spine as a disc record caddy is inserted into the player so that when the outer sleeve is withdrawn, the record/spine assembly is retained inside the player. A selected one of the spine latching members is equipped with a moveably mounted overtravel member which precludes the selected latching member from capturing the spine until the other latching member is also in position to latch up the spine. A connecting member rigidly intercoupling the latching members precludes the other latching member from capturing the spine until both latching members are ready to latch up the spine to ensure simultaneous latching of the spine.
