Disc player having a slider to move a disc between a disc reproducing

Abstract

A disc player has a disc receiver for supporting a disc thereon and a disc holder for directly holding a plurality of discs one over another at different heights with vertical intervals left therebetween without the need for movable disc trays or the like. The receiver is arranged in a disc reproducing position whereas the holder is disposed movably up and down adjacent to the disc reproducing position. A disc guide is also provided for linearly guiding desired one of the discs between the disc reproducing position and the corresponding height in the holder with the desired disc maintained at an outer periphery thereof in contact with the guide. The disc player is also provided with a disc transportation mechanism for pushing the desired disc at an outer peripheral portion thereof, said portion being located on a side opposite to the guide relative to a center of the desired disc, in a direction parallel to the guide, whereby the desired disc is transported between the corresponding height in the holder and the receiver.
