Explanation:
La traduction correcte de "chucking" est "monter en mandrin" ou "prendre en mandrin" (chuck = mandrin) mais ce terme est plutôt réservé à l'outillage industriel. Pour un lecteur de CD, il est plus commun d'utiliser les verbes placer, poser, retenir, centrer, etc. le disque sur la platine. Cette liste pourrait s'allonger selon les usages locaux.
