Abstract
An apparatus for reproducing signals from both sides of a disc which comprises a detector for detecting that the signal reproduction side of the disc opposed to the pickup is being changed over from one side to the other side, and a device for notifying the user that the reproduction side is being changed over according to an output signal from the detector. The notifying device enables the user to properly recognize the state of the pickup during the travel thereof between the both sides of the disc.
