Abstract

The present invention seeks to provide a disc transfer apparatus, which permits increasing the disc kick-off extent while holding a constant distance between a transfer roller and a turntable. A disc transfer apparatus is disclosed, which can choose either one of a play-back base fixing mode, in which a transfer roller is held at a disc transfer position while restricting motion of the play-back base relative to a housing, thereby permitting loading/unloading of disc, and a play-back base release mode, in which the transfer roller is held at a non-disc transfer position while holding the play-back base in a floating state relative to the housing. At the time of switching the play-back base release mode over to the play-back base fixing mode, a movable number, which is mounted on the play-back base such as to have bearing on the choice of either one of the play-back base release and fixing modes, is brought into contact with part of the housing, thus permitting the play-back base to approach a disc in-outlet slot against buffering force of the buffer member.
