A disc apparatus comprising:

• a base member;
• a chassis pivotably supported by said base member;
• a turntable rotatably supported by said chassis to rotate a disc;
• a pickup unit movably supported by said chassis to be accessible to said disc;
• a lead screw supported by said chassis to drive said pickup unit;
• and
• a guide unit contactable with said pickup unit to guide said pickup unit, and in which
• said guide unit includes an axis extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to a moving direction in which said pickup unit is movable with respect to said chassis, said guide unit being supported by said chassis to be pivotable around said axis and movable in combination with said chassis pivoting with respect to said base member to be held in engagement with said chassis.
