Abstract

An optical recording/reproducing apparatus includes a frame defining a space therein to receive operational components of said apparatus, a tray movably received in said space for accepting an optical disc therein; an upper cover attached to said frame beside said space so as to have said accepted optical disc sandwiched between said cover and said tray in said space; a front panel attached to said frame beside said cover and said space, and having an opening formed in a moving path of said tray to have said tray movable through said opening; and a blocking strip firmly attached to said frame and separate from said cover and said panel, a lower edge of said blocking strip is nearly close with a top surface of the tray, said blocking strip extending beside said moving path of said tray along a direction essentially perpendicular to said moving path.
