Abstract
A recording/reproducing device comprising a cartridge holder adapted to be moved from an unloaded state to a loaded state by a vertical movement of a roller provided on each side portion of the cartridge holder, and a cam member having a flat portion adapted to contact and guide the roller and an inclined push-up portion adapted to abut the roller to return the cartridge holder from the loaded state to the unloaded state. The cam member is formed with a projecting portion at its portion changing from the flat portion to the inclined push-up portion. It is possible to give the 'click' touch to the user at the time of transfer from unloaded to loaded state in the disc cartridge inserting operation.
