Abstract
A data processing device which is improved in operational performance and is capable of storing a plurality of disk-shaped recording media. The above device includes a detection function of detecting empty compartment(s) of a stocker from a plurality of compartments 50a-50d differentiated by the identification numbers loaded with a plurality of MDs. The device is further provided with the following three functions. A setting function selects one of empty compartments and sets it as a designated compartment in which a disk to be stored. In response to the depression of one of No. keys so as to set one of the empty compartments as a newly designated compartment, a resetting function resets the designated empty compartment from the compartment set by the setting function to the newly designated compartment. Upon detection of the insertion of an MD through an insertion slot, a transmission function transmits a drive signal to allow the MD to be stored in the newly designated compartment.
