Abstract
A shutter member is provided so as to be capable of moving in association with a roller bracket. The shutter member rotates by a predetermined range in association with the rotation of the roller bracket, and then a projection of the shutter member is pressed in a Y1 direction by a shutter pressing portion provided on the right side slider. Accordingly, the shutter member is rotated clockwise, and an opening and closing panel portion of the shutter member closes an insertion port from the inside thereof. Therefore, the insertion port is closed reliably by the shutter member, so that insertion of another disc from the insertion port into the interior of the apparatus while the disc is rotating is prevented.
