Abstract: A recording/reproducing device (A) includes: a first device (31) for performing recording and/or reproduction of data with respect to a first detachable storage medium; a second device (35) for performing recording and/or reproduction of data with respect to a second detachable storage medium; a first display section (41) for notifying a working state of the first device (31); and a second display section (47) for notifying a working state of the second device (35). A relative positions of the first device (31) to the second device (35) is the same as a relative position of the first display section (41) to the second display section (47).

Abstract: The invention relates to a changer apparatus for information discs, comprising a stacking unit for stacking at least two information discs in at least two stacking positions, a read/write unit for reading information stored on the information discs and/or writing information on the information discs in a play position, an eject position being provided in which an information disc can be removed from the apparatus, In such a changer apparatus transport means have been provided for moving the information discs from the eject position into a loading position of the stacking unit along a curve-shaped loading path.

Abstract: An information reproducing apparatus is provided with: a clamping device (900) capable of clamping and clamp-releasing a recording medium (100); a rotating device (20) for rotating the recording medium clamped by the clamping device; a reading device (30) disposed opposite to an information record surface of the recording medium for reading information recorded on the information record surface of the recording medium; a driving device (34, 34D, 32) capable of moving the reading device in a radial direction of the recording medium; and a linkage device (24, 83, 85) for linking a clamping or clamp-releasing action by the clamping device with a movement of the reading device by the driving device.
