Optical disk drive e.g. for compact disk, has drive mechanism with tray to receive optical disk suitably aligned so that specific acute angle is set between that mechanism and vertical axis of system using drive

摘要

The drive mechanism (202) has a tray (204) with recess for receiving the optical disk. The recess is aligned at an angle preferably 5-15 deg to the vertical axis (206) to satisfactorily hold the disk. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) Aligning method of drive mechanism; (b) System using optical disk drive
