Abstract
A stocker installed inside a housing of a CD playback apparatus is constructed by stacking holders of identical construction. Each holder can hold a CD. The CD can be inserted and ejected through an insertion/ejection slot one at a time. A moving mechanism moves the entire construction of the stocker up and down. A separating mechanism widens the gap between the holders in the stocker selected by the upward or downward movement thereof, and creates a space for a PU unit and a turn table to enter. The stocker capable of accommodating a plurality of recording media is constructed using members of identical construction, and the stocker can be separated at any accommodating position.
