Abstract

A disk player includes contact members accommodating and supporting a disk at a predetermined position in a main body of the disk player. The contact members are in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the disk and the contact members are transferred to load the disk supported thereto into a clamping position, which is advantageous to miniaturizing the disk player and protecting the disk.
