Abstract

The present invention proposes a disc loading apparatus which has the ability to position either a large or small disc accurately against a turntable while improving miniaturization. A latching means having a first latch and a second latch are provided to feed and contact a disc against the common stopper by the loading motor power when either a large or small disc is inserted; when a large disc is inserted, the stopper means is latched against the first latch by moving the latching means to the position so as to avoid the latch of the second latch and the stopper means, and the disc loading detection means is loaded in the stopper means. This means moves the clamper to the position where a large or small disc is clamped in cooperation with the turntable by the movement of the driving means by receiving the loading motor power which moves to the stopper means by being pressed by the inserted large or small disc, and also separates the stopper from the disc when at least a large disc is loaded.
