Abstract
The present invention relates to an electronic device in which wire rods connected to an electronic circuit are led to the outside through an opening of a housing and the lead-out direction of the covering member can be changed by pivoting the pivoting unit provided in the covering member containing the wire rods; and an information reproduction system provided with the electronic device. An electronic device according to the present invention comprises: a cabinetcontaining an electronic circuit; a covering member containing wire rods connected to the electronic circuit and led to the outside through an opening of the cabinet; pivoting convex portion provided in one of the covering member and the cabinet; and pivoting concave portion which is provided in the other of the covering member and the cabinetand supports the pivoting convex portions, wherein the covering member is pivotally supported with respect to the cabinet According to the electronic device of the present invention, a pivot-supporting unitis provided in the connection cable, whereby pivoting the connection cablethrough the pivoting unit allows the lead-out direction of the connection cablefrom an openingof the cabinetto the outside to be selectively changed between a direction in which the connection cableis led downward from the lower surface of the cabinetand a direction sideways-intersecting therewith. Accordingly, the position of the connection cablemay be changed to an arbitrary one corresponding to a state of use regarding such electronic devices, and the connection cablemay not become an obstacle.
