Abstract
In a loading device for disc cassettes, an engaged portion or recess of the disc cassette is engaged with a coupling member of the loading device, when the disc cassette is manually inserted to a first position in a cassette holder. In response to further slight insertion of the cassette to a second position, the disc cassette is automatically drawn-in to a predetermined third position through the coupling member by a motor which is driven in response to a signal produced by a sensor, and thereafter, the cassette holder is lowered from a cassette inserting position to a cassette loading position, so that the disc cassette can be always safely moved to its loading position without being inclined.
