Abstract
An autochanger type disc player for playing compact audio discs includes a disc storage area able to store a plurality of closely spaced discs, a disc playing mechanism, and a mechanism for transferring a selected disc from the disc storage area to the disc playing mechanism. During transfer of the selected disc from the disc storage area to the disc playing mechanism, the selected disc passes through a disc inlet that includes a restraining member permitting only the selected disc to pass through to the disc playing mechanism and a buffer part preventing the recorded portion of the disc from contacting non-resilient components of the disc player.
