The cartridge holder performs a movement operation when moved from a first position permitting insertion/withdrawal of the disc cartridge to a second position for loading the disc cartridge into a loading portion of a recording/reproducing apparatus. The loading device further comprises a vertical movement operation mechanism including a vertical movement operation plate for allowing vertical movement of the cartridge holder with respect to the loading portion.
