Abstract
A vehicle mount disc player having a small thickness by removing a wasteful space around a reproduction unit chassis when a disc is loaded or unloaded. The vehicle mount disc player has the reproduction unit chassis supported in a floating state by a main chassis via damper mechanisms. The reproduction unit chassis is locked so as to be shifted to a disc motor side along an axial direction of a disc motor and a turntable when the disc is loaded or unloaded.
Claims3
A disc loading/unloading mechanism for loading/unloading a disc by guiding the disc along a fixed disc guide fixed to a housing and a floating disc guide fixed to a floating chassis, wherein a slanted guide portion of the fixed disc guide and slanted guide portions of the floating disc guide are disposed at different positions along a direction perpendicular to a disc transport direction and at overlapping positions along the disc transport direction, the slanted guide portions being spaced apart by a distance allowing a motion stroke of the floating chassis.
