Abstract
A front loading disc player is disclosed which comprises a housing, a play mechanism including a turntable, a carrier for carrying a disc to be played, and a projection/accommodation mechanism for moving the carrier so as to project/accommodate the carrier out-of-into the housing to perform loading/ejection of the disc. The projection/accommodation mechanism includes moving members movably provided within said housing, a driving force application unit for applying a driving force to the moving members, and a carrier moving mechanism for moving the carrier in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction in response to the movement of the moving members. The carrier moving mechanism is provided with a speed multiplier for moving the carrier at a speed higher than the moving speed of the moving members as the moving members move.
