Abstract
The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus for effecting information recording and/or reproduction on a recording medium loaded in the apparatus. The information processing apparatus comprises a detector for detecting the temperature of the medium and a medium discharging device for discharging the medium from the apparatus when the temperature detected by the detector exceeds a predetermined value so as to prevent change or loss of information recorded on the medium due to temperature increase of the apparatus. The information processing apparatus may further include a control device for suspending the discharge of the medium even when the detected temperature exceeds a predetermined value in the course of a recording or erasing operation, but discharging the medium in case a next operation is not started within a predetermined time after the end of the above operation.
