Abstract

A disc drive apparatus for reproducing/recording information on a disc, the disc drive apparatus includes a frame and a tray slidably received in the frame. The frame has a plurality of guiding ribs. The frame has a back and an open front. The tray is slidable along a moving direction corresponding to a loading direction of insertion of the tray into the frame. The tray has a back and a front. The back of the tray is initially received in the front of the frame and thereby moving toward the back of the frame when proceeding in the loading direction. The tray defines a disc recess therein configured for receiving and holding the disc therein. The tray defines a pair of guiding slots extending along the moving direction from the back of the tray. The guiding slots parallel to each other selectively receive the guiding ribs of the frame.
