Abstract
An information reproducing apparatus is provided with: a clamping device () capable of clamping and clamp-releasing a recording medium (); a rotating device () for rotating the recording medium clamped by the clamping device; a reading device () disposed opposite to an information record surface of the recording medium for reading information recorded on the information record surface of the recording medium; a driving device (D,) capable of moving the reading device in a radial direction of the recording medium; and a linkage device () for linking a clamping or clamp-releasing action by the clamping device with a movement of the reading device by the driving device. The driving device moves the reading device as a first driving voltage is supplied to the driving device upon reading the information recorded on the information record surface, the first driving voltage including such a value that the action of the clamping device is not linked with the movement of the reading device by the linkage device.
