Abstract
A reproduction apparatus having a housing, a logic and control unit for controlling the operation of the reproduction apparatus, a user control interface for inputting control instruction signals to said logic and control unit, and a mechanism for mounting said user control interface so as to be usable by a variety of users. The mounting mechanism includes a user control interface support platform slidably supported for movement, relative to the reproduction apparatus housing to a home position and a position spaced from the home position where the user control interface is readily accessible by a user. The platform is automatically moved to its home position when a portion of the reproduction apparatus housing is opened to provide access to the interior of such housing.
