Abstract
A data processing device having a shutter opening and closing mechanism which operates within a path along which a minidisk MD moves to open a shutter only when it is necessary to open the shutter of the MD. A change-over mechanism for diverting the drive force for loading cassettes to the shutter opening and closing mechanism. A recording medium pushing mechanism is arranged to stop a recording medium from being taken out of the magazine to the carrier when there is a recording medium in the carrier. A recording medium take-in/eject mechanism able to reduce the space occupied, and a carrier mechanism which improves the working efficiency during assembly. This makes it possible to provide a data processing device with improved operating properties.
