INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processing apparatus which can prevent a recording medium mounted on the apparatus body from being damaged. SOLUTION: An AV apparatus 1 comprises its apparatus body 2, a connector part 18 which is formed on the front surface 2a of the apparatus body 2 and on which a USB memory 15 is mounted, a rotation support part 19, a rotation restrain permitting part 20, and a state preservation part. The rotation support part 19 rotably supports the connector part 18 from a state that the USB memory 15 rises from the front surface 2a, to a state where the USB memory 15 becomes parallel to the front surface 2a. The rotation restrain permitting part 20 restricts the rotation of the connector part 18, in a state where the USB memory 15 is not mounted on the connector part 18, and allows the connector part 18 to rotate, in a state where the USB memory 15 is mounted on the connector part 18. The state-preserving part holds the USB memory 15, set in parallel to the front surface 2a, in a state positioned parallel to the front surface 2a. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
