          Appeal No. 2000-1765                                                        
          Application No. 08/947,895                                                  
               at least one buffering member interposed between said deck             
          base and said deck plate for protecting said deck plate from                
          external impacts;                                                           
               a spindle motor having a rotational shaft and being mounted            
          to said deck plate for providing a rotational force to a disk;              
               a turntable mounted to said rotational shaft of said spindle           
          motor for accommodating the disk;                                           
               a clamper for holding the disk in place on said turntable;             
               an optical pickup installed at said deck plate to be capable           
          of moving across the disk; and                                              
               a self-compensating dynamic balancer mounted to at least one           
          among members which are rotated by the rotational force provided            
          by said spindle motor, the center of gravity of said self-                  
          compensating dynamic balancer being located opposite to that of             
          said disk with respect to said rotational shaft of said spindle             
          motor by a centrifugal force generated during rotation of the               
          disk, thereby to compensate for vibrations due to an eccentric              
          center of gravity of said disk.                                             
          24.  A disk player as claimed in claim 1, wherein said self-                
          compensating dynamic balancer is formed to incorporate said                 
          turntable.
