Abstract
A disk device is comprised of a CD conveying mechanism which performs the uptake and ejection of CDs by a conveying roller . An MD conveying mechanism drives a clamp lever rotating mechanism which performs the refuge of the clamp lever from an initial position and the return of the clamp lever to an initial position by being driven by a CD loading drive motor. A CD is clamped by a clamp mechanism when the CD is loaded onto a fixed position in the device and directed to a turntable. When an MD is loaded or ejected, the MD conveying mechanism drives the refuge or return of the clamp lever . The placement of an MD on a turntable is performed by an MD placing mechanism which is driven as a result of an MD being taken up to a fixed position in the device.
