Recording and reproducing device

A recording/reproducing device comprising within a single casing a plurality of recording/reproducing sections for performing writing and/or reading of data with respect to storage mediums, at least a first recording/reproducing section and a second recording/reproducing section of the plurality of recording/reproducing sections having individual insertion/ejection slots, the second recording/reproducing section performs writing and/or reading of data with respect to a disc using a blue light source whose wavelength is in the 400 nm band,

• the casing includes a movable panel which covers the insertion/ejection slots, the recording/reproducing device including a first display section for notifying a working state of the first recording/reproducing section, a second display section for notifying a working state of the second recording/reproducing section and a third display section for notifying an operating state of the recording/reproducing device including display of information of recording/reproducing of the disc by the second recording/reproducing section, the first display section and the second display section being provided to be opposed to an insertion/ejection slot of the first recording/reproducing section and an insertion/ejection slot of the second recording/reproducing section, respectively, the movable panel including the first display section and the second display section, which are provided on a plane of the panel, and which plane is a reverse side of a plane facing the insertion/ejection slots,
• wherein the plurality of recording/reproducing sections include a third recording/reproducing section which differs from the first or second recording/reproducing section, the third display section functions also to notify an operating state of the third recording/reproducing section,
• wherein the third recording/reproducing section is a hard disk device,
• wherein the second recording/reproducing section being more distant from the hard disk device than the first recording/reproducing section.

A recording/reproducing device comprising:

• a device body;
• a first recording/reproducing section, provided inside the device body, for performing writing and/or reading of data with respect to a first storage medium;
• a second recording/reproducing section, provided in the device body, for performing writing and/or reading of data with respect to a disc using a blue light source whose wavelength is in the 400 nm band;
• a first display section for displaying operation information indicating an operation state of the first recording/reproducing section;
• a second display section for displaying operation information indicating an operation state of the second recording/reproducing section;
• a third display section for notifying an operating state of the recording/reproducing device including display of information of recording/reproducing of the disc by the second recording/reproducing section,
• wherein:
• the first display section, the second display section, the first recording/reproducing section and the second recording/reproducing section are laid out so that a quadrangle is formed by:
• a first line segment connecting the first display section and the second display section;
• a second line segment connecting the first recording/reproducing section and the second recording/reproducing section;
• a third line segment connecting the first display section and the first recording/reproducing section;
• a forth line segment connecting the second display section and the second recording/reproducing section, where the first and second line segments are opposed, and the third and fourth line segments are opposed, wherein
• the plurality of recording/reproducing sections include a third recording/reproducing section which differs from the first or second recording/reproducing section, the third display section functions also to notify an operating state of the third recording/reproducing section;
• and
• an openable-and-closable panel including the first display section and the second display section, wherein
• the first display section and the second display section are formed on an external surface of the panel in a closed state.
