In the conventional panel attaching / detaching mechanism shown in FIG. 4, the operation panel 2 is detachably mounted on the apparatus main body 1.
In this structure, the operation panel 2 cannot be supported on the apparatus main body 1 so as to be openable and closable. Therefore, when only a receiving tuner such as a car radio is provided, the antitheft structure is simple. However, in the case of a car stereo or the like that reproduces a tape cassette or an optical disk, it is necessary to form an insertion / removal opening for inserting / removing the tape cassette or the optical disk, and to open and close the front cover to close the insertion / removal opening. When these insertion / removal openings and the front lid are provided on the detachable operation panel side, EJECT
Since the front lid is sometimes opened in conjunction with the drive mechanism in the apparatus main body, the opening / closing structure of the front lid becomes complicated, and inconveniences such as failure easily occur.
