Abstract

In an automatic medium changing apparatus capable of storing a multiplicity of optical disks, the control parameters required for the drive control system of a drive unit for recording-reproducing are automatically regulated for all the combinations of the existing drive units and all the media held. The resulting values of the control parameters are stored in a control unit of the automatic medium changing apparatus and the apparatus is controlled by the corresponding control parameters transferred from the control unit at the time of processing the medium.
