Abstract: A disc apparatus includes a chassis, a drive unit driven by a motor to be moved upward/downward in a prescribed direction, and a pick-up unit having a pick-up and driven by the motor to be moved in a direction orthogonal to the direction of upward/downward movement of the drive unit. The pick-up unit has an interlocking piece, and the chassis has an interlocking portion that can be interlocked with interlocking piece. In the disc apparatus, the interlocking piece provided in the pick-up unit is interlocked with the interlocking portion provided in the chassis when the drive unit is in a lowered state, whereby the pick-up unit is locked into the chassis. Therefore, reduction in the number of components and in the size of the apparatus becomes possible, and the lock mechanism of the pick-up unit can be formed in a simple structure.
