Abstract
A disc data reproducing apparatus, including a rotating mechanism for rotating the disc about a central axis, an optical head disposed opposite the disc for receiving data from the disc, and a moving mechanism for moving the optical head along the radial direction of the disc. The optical head is disposed on one side of the central axis of the rotating mechanism and the moving mechanism is disposed on the other side of the central axis so as to reduce the space requirements for housing the head and moving mechanism within the apparatus.
