Abstract
A disc ejection device is provided separate from a disk loading device in a disc device for disc playback or recording. When a disc loaded on a turntable in a disc driving section is ejected, it is lifted up by a moving table, is fed out by a first ejection member, and is then ejected from an ejection slot by a second ejection member disposed near the ejection slot. Immediately after the first ejection member feeds out the disc, it returns to an initial retracted state so as to allow a new disc to be loaded into the disc driving section. Accordingly, the loaded disc and a new disc can be switched inside the disc device.
