- the display and / or operating part can be pivoted upwards or downwards and preferably downwards, when the drive housing is in the insertion compartment, until the visible side of the display and / or operating part provided with the display and / or the operating elements moves into the insertion compartment essentially opposite direction, ie in a car radio in the direction of the passenger compartment has.
- This display can be used after removal of the player, for example, to display a set station frequency or a set transmitter of the radio part of the car radio while it is hidden when the player is hidden by the display and / or control panel, the display then takes over this task.
- the electrical connections to the display and / or control unit are preferably designed as a cable, in particular as a film conductor.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the display and / or operating part is pivotable relative to the drive housing by at least 90 degrees, so that the display and / or operating part is pivotable between two positions, wherein in one position, the opposite Wide side surfaces of the display and / or operating unit and the drive housing are aligned with each other and are mutually perpendicular in the other position, so that the provided with a display and / or controls visible side of the display and / or control unit facing away from the drive housing.
- the display and / or operating part is pivotable relative to the drive housing by at least 180 degrees, so that it can enclose an angle of 90 degrees with both broadside surfaces of the drive housing.
- the drive housing is provided on one of its broad side surfaces with a pivotable drive cover, which can be opened for inserting or for removing the storage medium.
- a further preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the speaker is also mounted pivotably on the drive housing, expediently about a pivot axis of the display and / or operating part parallel, arranged at a rear end of the drive housing pivot axis, so that he to
- Insertion of the drive housing in the insertion compartment can be pivoted into a position in which its opposite broad side surfaces are aligned with the broad side surfaces of the drive housing, and after removal of the drive housing from the insertion compartment can be brought into an upwardly pivoted position in which the sound better towards a user located to the side of the player is emitted.
- the loudspeaker of the playback device is expediently switched off automatically when the drive housing is inserted into the insertion compartment and the playback device is docked to the audio device.
- an electrical connection between the playback device and the audio device is preferably made, which allows charging of a housed in the drive housing of the player rechargeable power storage.

- FIG. 6 shows a side view of the CD player from FIG. 5 in a storage position corresponding to FIG. 3;
- FIG. 7 shows a partially omitted perspective view of a computer housing of a PC with the CD player inserted in a slot of the PC.
- the portable CD players 10 shown in the drawing each form, together with a car radio 12 (FIG. 2), an audio system that allows the CD players 10 to be separated from the car radio 12 inside or outside a motor vehicle equipped with the car radio 12 operate as a self-sufficient device or alternatively as part of the car radio 12 used in this.
- the CD player 10 essentially consist of a flat cuboid
- Drive housing 14 which is closed on its upper side by a transparent drive cover 16 and next to a CD drive 18 encloses a power storage in the form of a rechargeable battery (not shown), one or more connected to the drive 18 speakers 20 ( Figure 5), and a display and control part 22, which is pivotally connected by means of a pivot joint 24 with the drive housing 14.
- the car radio 12 has an adapted to the shape of the drive housing 14 of the CD player 10 insertion compartment 26, which in a car radio 12 with upwardly facing side of view, for example one in the
- Center console of a motor vehicle mounted car radio can also be designed as a vertical shaft and is used to hold the drive housing 14, which is pushed with its rear end 28 forward into the insertion compartment 26.
- the insertion tray 26 is provided on its rear wall with a plug 30 which in a complementary Plug socket (not visible) at the rear end 28 of the drive housing 14 penetrates and establishes an electrical and mechanical connection between the car radio 12 and the associated CD player 10, when the drive housing 14 is fully inserted into the insertion compartment 26, so that only his front connected to the pivot joint 24 front end 32 slightly above the mouth of the
- the CD player 10 Due to the electrical plug connection between the drive housing 14 and the car radio 12, the CD player 10 is connected to a built-in car radio charger 12 (not shown), which serves to charge its battery. Alternatively, a docking station for charging, in particular an inductive charging, may be provided. Also, the drive becomes
