Abstract
The traywhich can mount both of a cartridge type recording medium and a bare-disc type recording medium, includes a placing surfacehaving a detection holefor detecting information of the recording medium; a rising portionformed so as to rise from the placing surfaceat a front side end. The rising portionhas a disc holderrotatably provided for positioning the bare-disc type recording medium. Hence, the disc holdercan be moved to an accommodation position A for being displaced not to cover the detection holein the placing surfaceAccordingly, an area on the placing surfacein which detection portions such as the detection holeare formed becomes wider, so that the detection portions such as the detection holecan be sufficiently formed as well as a space for providing the detection portions corresponding to a cartridge containing a variety of information can be sufficiently obtained.
