A guiding mechanism, comprising: at least one guiding rod, at least one base and a fastening device. The guiding rod can provide a reading head of optical storage carrier player to move along the longitudinal axis of the guiding rod. The base that connects with one end of the guiding rod arranges with at least: an receiving slot arranged to one surface of the base has an appropriate depth to provide one end of the guiding rod to be placed in, an opening arranged at an appropriate position under the receiving slot, and a deformation portion arranged at the upper portion of the base has an appropriate thickness. The fastening device can connect with the base to provide a fixation for the guiding rod.
A tilt adjusting apparatus for an optical disc player to adjust a tilt of an optical pickup having adjusting ends positioned on at least first ends of two guide shafts that guide reciprocating motion of the optical pickup, elastic members positioned below the adjusting ends to bias the adjusting ends in a first direction, stoppers positioned on brackets above the adjusting end, to limit adjustment of the adjusting ends in the first direction, and adjusting screws coupled to the stoppers, to adjust the adjusting ends in a second direction opposite the first direction, thereby adjusting the inclination of the guide shafts. The stoppers are sized so that the optical pickup does not contact a lower surface of the disc even during large inclinations of the guide shaft.
