Abstract: An optical disc drive including a clamping mechanism, which faces a turntable, supports a surface of a disc, and is rotated. The clamping mechanism includes a clamper, which has access to the disc by a magnetic force when a spindle motor has access to the disc so that the disc is not deviated from a mounting portion when clamping is not completely performed, and a return member, which allows the clamper to be spaced apart from the disc as the spindle motor is spaced apart from the disc.

Abstract: An apparatus for automatically adjusting tilting of an optical disc drive, having placing parts, a plurality of height measurers, adjusters, a mirror disc, two mirror plates, an autocollimator, a photo detector, and a controller. The optical disc drive is placed on the placing parts. The plurality of height measurers measure heights of two portions of each of the pair of rails. The adjusters adjust the adjusting parts. The mirror disc is mounted on the turntable and spins. The two mirror plates are installed on the pair of rails. The autocollimator radiates parallel light beams onto the mirror disc and the two mirror plates. The photo detector detects focused points of the light beams reflected from the mirror disc and the two mirror plates and passing through the autocollimator. The controller calculates an amount of tilting from a distance between the focused points.

Abstract: An optical disc drive includes a main body at which a spindle motor is installed. A tray installed at the main body is loadable/unloadable into/from the main body, and a disc holder is rotatable by the spindle motor when the tray is in a loaded position, and is joinable to a clamping hole of a disc so as to fix the disc.
