Abstract:
An optical disk reproducing apparatus comprising: an apparatus main body including pickup means for picking up recorded information from an optical disk; a mounting tray on which the optical disk is mounted; and slide means for sliding the mounting tray at varying speeds to a projected position for placement and discharge of the optical disk and a contained position for optical disk reproduction with respect to said apparatus main body,wherein said slide means has: an output motor and a drive source for supplying varying continuous application voltages to the output motor; drive means for supplying a driving force to said mounting tray to slide said tray with respect to said apparatus main body, and control means for previously storing a series of preset varying continuous speeds of slide with respect to said apparatus main body from slide start to slide stop upon slide of said mounting tray, and previously storing a series of preset varying continuous application voltages to be supplied from the drive source of said drive means to the output motor so as to obtain the preset-stored series of varying continuous speeds of slide, further, when said drive source supplies the preset-stored varying continuous application voltages to the output motor, to cause said drive means to output the driving force, so as to actually slide said mounting tray at varying speeds with respect to said apparatus main body, if said tray cannot slide at said preset varying continuous speeds, for controlling the application voltages from said drive source to said output motor so as to obtain the preset series of varying continuous speeds , and wherein a measurement means measures a slide speed of said tray with respect to said apparatus.
