Abstract
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus comprises a holder provided with an engagement portion with which there is engaged a portion of a shutter opening mechanism provided at the recording and/or reproducing apparatus side at insertion end side into the recording and/or reproducing apparatus, and a tray movably held with respect to the holder and provided with a disc mounting portion. The tray is adapted so that when there is the state where at least the engagement portion is engaged with the shutter opening mechanism, the tray is permitted to be moved with respect to the holder so that drawing operation from the recording and/or reproducing apparatus can be made. At the tray, there is provided a releasing portion for releasing engagement with respect to the engagement portion of the holder of the shutter opening mechanism in the state positioned at the insertion end side into the recording and/or reproducing apparatus. The engagement releasing portion is adapted so that when the disc mounting portion is moved to the position at which the disc mounting portion is covered by the holder, it releases engagement with respect to the engagement portion of the shutter opening mechanism.
