Abstract
A disk player includes a selecting mechanism, a switching control mechanism a transporting roller-actuating mechanism, and a pickup feeding mechanism. In the disk player, an idler plate pivots in response to a direction of rotation of a worm wheel that always meshes with a worm provided on a shaft of a loading motor. Three idler gears that always mesh with the worm wheel are provided on the idler plate. The idler plate couples a switching idler gear to the switching control mechanism at a disk mounting position, couples a transporting roller-actuating idler gear to the transporting roller-actuating mechanism, and couples a pickup feeding idler gear to the pickup feeding mechanism at a pickup feed position.
