Abstract
According to the present invention, an elevating means for elevating and lowering the spindles constituting the disc holding means and a disc playing means is configured so that a single part simultaneously performs these operations. Since the same part is driven to perform these operations, elevating and lowering timings for the spindles and the disc playing means can be easily matched to enable the elevation and lowering without changes in the gap between a played disc being elevated or lowered and held discs in a housing section, thereby preventing the discs being elevated or lowered from contacting with each other.
