There is provided a disc player which comprises a base section, a loading section linearly movably mounted on the base section, a rotary tray rotatably mounted on the loading section for receiving a plurality of discs, a driving motor provided in the loading section for producing a driving force, a turn table provided under the rotary tray. The disc player further includes a first operating mechanism for transmitting a driving force from the driving motor to the rotary tray, and for moving down the turn table when the rotary tray is to be rotated, a second operating mechanism for transmitting a driving force from the driving motor to said loading section to cause the loading section to linearly move with respect to said base section, a change-over for selecting an operation of the first operating mechanism or the second operating mechanism.
