Abstract
Disclosed is a slim-type high speed rotation optical disk apparatus having a turn table for loading an optical disk thereon. As compared with conventional ones, a brake pad is located near to the front end so that the brake pad comes into tight contact with a side of the tray's front portion when the tray is inserted. This reduces the noise and vibration of the optical disk apparatus.
