Abstract: A recording medium driving apparatus can adjust the position of a linear driving means with respect to a turntable with high precision, so that a direction in which the head apparatus is moved by the linear driving means matches a predetermined radial direction with respect to a rotational center axis of the turntable. The recording medium driving apparatus includes a chassis 70, a rotating plate 63 that is rotatably provided on the chassis 70, a rotational center determining means 61 that determines the rotational center of the rotating plate 63 with respect to the chassis 70, and a rotational driving means 62 for rotating the rotating plate 63 around the rotational center.
