Abstract
A disk device of the present invention includes a first cam mechanism, a disk transfer mechanism, a second cam mechanism, a slider positioning mechanism and a positioning release mechanism. The slider positioning mechanism prevents movement of a slider in a reverse direction by engaging the slider when the slider is at a forward limit position. The positioning release mechanism operates the slider positioning mechanism so as to release an engagement of the slider positioning mechanism with the slider in conjunction with a return of an optical pickup.
