With a conventional disk changer, it takes a long time with poor
operability to directly and visually confirm which tray has a disk or
which tray has which disk in a device. A disk changer of the invention
includes a tray transfer unit for shuttling trays between a standby
position and an attaching/detaching position and between the standby
position and a recording/reproducing position, a tray gear unit engaged
separately with the trays, and a tray driving unit for driving the trays
separately via the tray gear unit, so that the trays can be separately
moved from the standby position to the attaching/detaching position via
the tray gear unit and the trays can be protruded to the
attaching/detaching position while being arranged like steps. Hence, it
is possible to directly and visually confirm which tray has a disk or
which tray has which disk in a device with a simple operation in a short
time.
