The moving body 42 moves in the X2 direction to move the CD-R.
When approaching the OM accommodating position P2, the curved portion 72 relatively approaches the regulation plate portion 68a of the moving body 42. The moving body 42 is a CD
-When it is located near the ROM replacement position P1,
The bending portion 72 is located far from the moving body 42, is not regulated by the regulating plate portion 68a, and the bending portion 72 is largely projected upward as shown in FIG. When the moving body 42 moves in the X2 direction and approaches the CD-ROM housing position P2, and the bending portion 72 relatively approaches the regulation plate portion 68a of the moving body 42, as shown in FIG. 72 is the regulation plate 6
Due to the regulation by 8a, the upward protrusion is restricted and the flattening is achieved. As a result, the moving body 42 is CD-
When the ROM storage position P2 is reached, the curved portion 72 surely enters the lower side of the circuit board 50, as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to extend the circuit board 50 in the X1 direction, that is, to increase the width dimension W3 of the circuit board 50 in the X1 and X2 directions.
Further, since the regulation plate portion 68a uses a part of the reinforcing plate 68 and is not a dedicated component, the number of components is not increasing.

Further, since the flexible cable 60 is attached and provided on the bottom plate portion 51a of the chassis 41, the space 18 in FIG. 9B is unnecessary. Also,
The flexible cable 60 is the bottom plate portion 5 of the chassis 41.
Since the flexible cable 60 is not provided on the plate portion 51c-2, the space 19 on the lower surface side of the CD-ROM 30 mounted on the turntable 43 is the upper surface of the plate portion 51c-2. It should be secured on the side. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9A, the first side wall portion 51c-
1 is arranged in the Y2 direction from FIG. 9B, and the plate portion 51c-2
Is arranged in the Z1 direction from FIG. 9 (B), and the concave space 52 is
It is wider than the concave space portion 17 of FIG.
