Portable disc player
First Claim
1. A portable disc player for reproducing an optical disc on which image data in addition to audio data have been recorded and in which a sub header portion is provided subsequent to a head sync portion and a header portion of user'"'"'s data, comprising:
- (A) a casing enclosing(a) disc rotation driving means for rotating a loaded optical disc,(b) an optical pickup which is provided so as to be movable in a radial direction of the optical disc which is rotated by the disc rotation driving means,(c) a signal processing section to execute a predetermined signal process to a signal which has been read out by said optical pickup,(d) control means for controlling operations of the disc rotation driving means, the optical pickup, and the signal processing section on the basis of input signals from an operating section,(e) a disc loading section located at a position lower than the surface of the casing and which enables the rotation of the optical disc by the disc rotation driving means, and wherein a disc receiving section of the disc rotation driving means is arranged so as to be projected to the disc loading section,(f) a rotary member which has a disc sandwiching section for sandwiching the optical disc together with the disc rotation driving means in a state in which the disc sandwiching section is closed for the casing and for rotating the optical disc together with the disc rotation driving means; and
(B) a display means which is rotatably hinged to said casing.

Abstract
A portable disc player has a casing. In the casing, there are enclosed: disc rotation driving means for rotating an optical disc; an optical head which is arranged so as to be movable in the radial direction of the optical disc; a signal processing section for executing a predetermined signal process to a signal which has been read out by the optical head; and control means for controlling the operations of the rotation driving means, the optical head, and the signal processing section on the basis of an input from an X-Y device and trigger buttons. A display unit comprising an outer cover on which an LCD display is arranged is rotatably attached to the casing.
