Definitions
- the present invention relates to a playback device technology that can be mounted with different disk drives, particularly for DJ (Disc ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ Jockey).
- DJs disc jockeys
- a DJ or the like uses a playback device to perform an original effect using music stored on a CD (Compact Disc).
- CD Compact Disc
- a sound source used by a DJ or the like is a CD, and it is sufficient that the reproducing apparatus has a CD drive and can reproduce a CD.
- the sound source is not limited to a CD, and a storage means equipped with an HD (Hard Disc) drive capable of storing a much larger amount of music files has become common. For this reason, DJs and the like are also demanded of playback devices that can use HD. As a response to such market demands, a playback device having both an HD drive and a CD drive has been put on the market.
- a conventional technology of a playback device equipped with both an HD drive and a CD drive for example, “Instruction Manual (HDX), Numark Industries LLC, [online], [Search January 30, 2008], Internet (URL: http://www.numark.jp/pdf/manuals/HDX_Manual_EN.pdf) ”.

- the internal media of each player is variously selected according to a request from a DJ or the like, and the system is configured by appropriately selecting an internal HD drive, an internal CD drive, or an external media. Therefore, in a general DJ system, it is sufficient that the playback device has either an HD drive or a CD drive.
- the playback device is distributed in a state of having both drives, so that it costs more and is expensive. From the viewpoint of operability, the DJ space is required to have a certain size, and the playback device including both of the drives as described above increases the size of the device, occupies the DJ space, and becomes unusable. .
- DJs usually carry their own playback devices to clubs and perform, but with two drives they get heavier. DJs can remove the HD drive when they want to use only the CD drive, but they cannot remove the CD drive when they want to use only the HD drive.
- An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and to provide a general-purpose disk drive holder and a disk reproducing apparatus that can be mounted with different disk drives and that are particularly easy to use for DJs and the like. It is in.
