Abstract
As a front panel of a disk changer apparatus is moved to an open position, a disk rack moving in response to the movement of the front panel operates to hold a plurality of disks in a staggered configuration. Such a staggered configuration of the disks allows a user to easily pick up and take out any desired disk from the disk rack.
