By depressing an eject button providing an operating unit for the disk delivery unit, a push-up lever advances into the stocker tray from a bottom opening of the stocker tray. As a result, a disk held in the stocker tray is taken out forward of the stocker tray by the rotation of the push-up lever, and is retained by a disk receiving lever of the disk delivery unit.
