Abstract

In an optical disk player according to this invention, a movable chassis mounted with an optical pickup, a turntable and the like is supported by springs joined with respective positions of a frame, and in this optical disk player, dampers are inserted between the frame and the movable chassis to absorb the energy of vibrations of the movable chassis. At the same time, a correcting means such as a coiled spring is so arranged as to be capable of changing the biasing force for biasing the movable chassis in a neutral condition with respect to the frame by adjustment operation. With the above arrangement, the slope of Q-value of the resonance region becomes moderate enough at the leading edge of the slope, and thus the vibration isolation characteristic is improved, so that sound omissions tend not to occur. The degradation of the vibration isolation characteristic of the damper that usually occurs on tilt of the chassis is effectively prevented. At the same time, a collision between the frame and the movable chassis can be prevented without increasing the movable range of the movable chassis with respect to the frame.
