RECORDING OR REPRODUCTION APPARATUS WITH A HOLDING AND REMOVING DEVICE FOR DISC-TYPE RECORDING MEDIA

The invention relates to a recording or reproduction apparatus with a holding and removing device for disc-type recording media which facilitates the emplacement and removal of the recording medium. According to the invention, the holding and removing device is formed by a cover of the hub of the disc turntable, by means of which, during the emplacement or removal of the recording medium, the holding force with which a recording medium is held on the disc turntable is reduced. The loading on the recording medium during emplacement or removal is thereby advantageously reduced and the special configuration of the cover as restoring means has the result that no additional individual parts are necessary. In an advantageous manner, the recording medium is both held and centered on the disc turntable with a force which is greater than a resistance encountered by the recording medium during emplacement or removal. The field of application of the invention extends to recording or reproduction apparatuses with a holding and removing device-provided on the disc turntable-for the disc-type recording media, such as, for example, CD, CD-ROM or DVD drives.
