A cartridge carrier is mounted on a sub-chassis connected to and located above the main chassis and makes its reciprocating movement in the fore-and-aft direction to carry the cartridge encasing therein the disk to another predetermined position in the player. A mechanical chassis is tiltably connected to and located below the main chassis and movable upwardly and downwardly. A turntable is rotatably mounted on the mechanical chassis and driven by a motor supported to the mechanical chassis. Either one of the disks carried at the predetermined position is mounted on the turntable to be played back. An optical pickup is movably mounted on the mechanical chassis to pick a digital optical signal from the surface of the disk on the turntable.
