When the disk holder reaches its accommodation position, the disk holder butts against the holder butting pin and rotates the control link slightly, thereby the disk control pin compulsively corrects the position of the disk. Thus the disk is certainly transported to the normal chucking position on the playback unit irrespective of the disk accommodated state in the disk holder.
In a disk playback apparatus that includes a magazine that accommodates a plurality of disks of different sizes that are operatively mounted on respective disk holding units, a playback unit for reproducing the information on a disk and a drawing out unit for selectively moving a holding unit with a disk to an operative position to reproduce the information on the disk, the improvement comprising:
