BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a disc player for reproducing discs for performance and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When playing a disc such as a compact disc, a disc player is known in which a tray carrying the disc is moved to convey the disc to a reproducing position. In such a disc player, the disc conveyed to the reproducing position is clamped and rotated by a clamper and a turntable, and information is reproduced by a pickup.

[0003]

However, if the tray is misaligned during the reproduction, the turntable and the tray may come into contact with each other or the disc may be carried on the tray when the clamp is released after the reproduction is completed. There was a problem that it could not be supported accurately at the position.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems and to obtain a disc player in which the reliability of the unclamping operation is improved.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION A disc player according to the present invention is a disc transporting unit for transporting a disc to a reproducing position by moving a tray to which the disc is attached and detached, and a disc reproducing unit for reproducing the disc at the reproducing position. The disc reproducing means includes a clamper, a turntable for clamping the disc together with the clamper, a pickup unit, a base for supporting the turntable and the pickup unit, and a clamp position for the turntable. And elevating means for elevating and lowering the base to move to and from the unclamped position,
The base is provided with a protruding piece for tray positioning that is fitted into a hole formed in the tray when the turntable is moved to the clamp position.

[0006]

According to the present invention, at the same time when the disc is clamped, the tray carrying the disc and the base which supports the pickup and the turntable and moves up and down are positioned. Therefore, since the relative positions of the pickup unit and the turntable and the tray do not shift during the reproduction, the unclamping operation after the reproduction can be smoothly performed without any trouble. Further, in the present invention, the tray positioning is released at the same time as the disc unclamping operation. Therefore, after the clamp is released, it is possible to quickly shift to the disc transport operation, and the disc player can be quickly operated.
