Abstract
A recording medium reproducing apparatus includes a mechanical deck, a lid body, a first moving member, a second moving member, and a synchronization member. The mechanical deck has one end turnably supported by a chassis and the other end having a recording medium insertion port. The lid body is movable between a lid close position and a lid open position. The first moving member turns the mechanical deck between a reproducing position and an ejection position. The second moving member moves the lid body from the lid close position to the lid open position. The synchronization member controls the first and second moving members in synchronization with each other such that the lid body is moved inside the housing by the second moving member and the mechanical deck is turned to the ejection position by the first moving member to allow the recording medium insertion port to be directed outwardly.
