Abstract
A vehicle-mounted record medium reproducing apparatus having a personal computer function. The apparatus is equipped with a control panel tiltable manually through a tilting link mechanism provided to cover a record medium insertion opening of a reproducing apparatus body. Further, the apparatus is provided with a click sensation mechanism for providing a click sensation when the control panel is tilted to a record medium ejecting position, and further provided with a connecting member for establishing a connection between the control panel and the supporting plate and being released from its connecting condition when the supporting plate is moved to a connection release enabling position. With this apparatus, a record medium can be inserted and ejected safely and with certainty, and the control panel can be detached from the supporting plate in a safe condition.
