Abstract
In a disk player in that switching between chucking a disk-like recording medium to a turntable and canceling the chucking is performed with forward movement and backward movement of a slider, the slider is maintained stable at an initial position and a forward movement position. A rack member is arranged so as to overlap the slider bottom; a lever is provided so as to have an engaging pin engaging with an engaging hole of the slider and with an engaging hole of the rack member; and moreover, the engaging hole of the rack member includes a first recess and a second recess, so that without an external force applied to the slider, the position of the slider is stably maintained with the engaging pin of the lever at the forward movement position and the initial position.
