A changer-equipped player uses an n number of carriages which can hold up to an n number of discs in storage positions in a stocker. These carriages carry discs between the stocker and a movable tray for play and for loading and unloading. One of the n number of carriages, carriage S, is usable in a single-play mode, allowing the player to be used as a tray equipped single-play device. Carriage S may be selected for single-play regardless of the number of discs stored in the remaining n-1 number of carriages. The remaining n-1 number of carriages are usable only in changer-play operation. Loading discs into the device is accomplished by placing discs into empty carriages as each is held in the tray in an eject position. The stocker is not removed for loading discs or for removing or replacing the discs stored within it. During changer-playback operation, the device selects and plays all stored discs in a predetermined sequence. During single-play operation, the device plays only the disc in carriage S. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a disc changer which overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a changer-equipped disc player (player) that performs a single-play operation on a specially provided single play carriage when a single play control is operated.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a player, that in addition to single-play operation, is capable of playing a plurality of discs consecutively.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a player that is capable of single play operation.
In this operation, the player plays back a single disc and stops.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide changer-play operation.
In this operation, when playback of the disc in the first carriage in the play position is completed, the player then plays back, in sequence, the discs in carriages stored in a stocking device.
It is a further object of the present invention, to provide a disc changer that, even though equipped with changer capability, is capable of performing single-play operation wherein only the disc on a single-play carriage is played even with other discs stored in a stocker.
Thus, the present invention can be played as a tray equipped, single-play disc player without removing previously stored discs.
It is a still further object of the invention that when a stocker control is operated, a carriage currently stored in a load/eject tray is moved to a storage position in a stocker.
An empty carriage disposed in the stocker is then moved to the tray and the tray, with the empty carriage, is moved to an eject position where the carriage can be loaded with a disc.
It is a still further object of the invention that when the stocker control is operated, the carriage currently stored in the load/eject tray is moved to a storage position in the stocker.
Then, any empty carriage of a first to an n-1.
sup.
th carriage where n is any non-zero integer within the stocker is moved into the tray and the tray is moved to the eject position, where the carriage can be loaded with a disc
