Abstract
A magneto-optical disc recording and/or reproducing apparatus for writing in and/or reading out an information signal from a rewritable magneto-optical disc is provided. In particular, a lifting mechanism for lifting a supporting arm that supports the magnetic head is provided where a lifting member is interposed between an arm member supporting a magnetic head and a magneto-optical disc. The lifting member is supported by a chassis in a manner in which it is rotatable in a direction in which it allows the magnetic head to come into contact with or near to a magneto-optical disc surface and in an opposite direction away from the magneto-optical disc.
