Abstract

A playback apparatus for a storage disc permits improved damping of vibration of the storage disc normal to the plane of the disc. The playback apparatus includes a first disc and a second disc, where the storage disc can be positioned between the first disc and the second disc. A predetermined distance is provided between the storage disc and the first disc within a predetermined area. The area and the distance are selected so that when there is vibration of the playback at apparatus approximately normal to the plane of the disc with an acceleration not exceeding a predetermined value, there results an amplitude of a resulting vibration of an outside edge of the storage disc in relation to a mid point of the storage disc which is below a predetermined value.
