Abstract
A disc player is shown which can play both a naked disc and a disc encased in a cartridge. A disc tray is movable on a single horizontal way to take at least first, second and third positions which are respectively the position for receiving or ejecting the naked disc, the position for practically playing the naked disc and the position which is distant from the second and third positions. When playing of the cartridge is intended, the disc tray is moved to the third position to permit the cartridge to take a loaded position at which the cartridge is practically played.
