A pair of guide shafts 230 supporting an information processing section 240 equipped with a pickup 242 is provided on a mount 210 rotatably disposed in a casing 110 with a turn table for rotatably supporting the optical disc 10 being provided on the rotation end side. An electric moving motor 310 is integrally attached on the bottom side of the casing 110 by an attachment 330 with a lead screw 320 having a spiral engaging groove 321, to which a movement restricting claw 241B of the information processing section 240 is engaged, being coupled coaxially to an output shaft. The configuration moving the information processing section 240 will not contact to the casing 110 when the turn table 222 is rotated to a retracted position retracted from the moving path of the optical disc 10 at the insertion or ejection of the optical disc 10, thus preferably being downsized.
