Abstract
An optical disc reproducing apparatus includes a body installed at a wall or other mounting apparatus, and an optical disc drive protruding from the body such that an optical disc is inserted into the optical disc drive. The optical disc drive is rotatably installed to the body to protrude forward from the body, so that the optical disc reproducing apparatus is installed regardless of positions of a wall-mount television installed above the optical disc reproducing apparatus.
Claims19
An optical disc reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a body installed at a wall;
- and
- an optical disc drive rotatably installed to the body to protrude from the body.
An optical disc reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a body installed at a wall;
- an optical disc drive rotatably and movably installed to the body while protruding from the body such that the optical disc drive rotates after moving forward by a predetermined distance;
- and
- a driving apparatus that allows the optical disc drive to move back and forth while rotating the optical disc drive.

- a body having a front surface;
- a concave receiving section disposed in the front surface of the body and having a cam gear installed at a surface of the concave receiving section;
- and
- an optical disc drive rotatably coupled to the body via the concave receiving section such that the optical disc drive rotates about the body to a predetermined position.
A method of operating an optical disc drive apparatus, comprising:
- mounting a body having a front surface on a wall or vertical mounting apparatus, the body including an optical disc drive apparatus;
- partially protruding the optical disc drive apparatus beyond the front surface in a front direction from a concave receiving section in the body;
- and
- rotating the optical disc drive apparatus only after the optical disc drive has moved in the front direction.
