Abstract
The disk recording/reproducing apparatus of the present invention has a magnetic head which ascends or descends between a descent position proximate to a disk recording medium housed in a cartridge and an ascent position which is separate from the medium, an ascending/descending control lever which controls ascent/descent of the magnetic head, a driving section which drives the ascending/descending control lever, and an ejecting operation section which couples with the ascending/descending control lever and can move between a position where the cartridge is allowed to be ejected out of the apparatus and a position where the cartridge is disabled from being ejected in accordance with the movement of the ascending/descending control lever, wherein the length of movement of the ascending/descending control lever is greater than the length of movement of the ejection operation section.
