In a recording and/or reproducing apparatus (1) with a housing (7) and with a chassis (12) connected to a housing part (16), the chassis is connected to the housing part (16) via three connecting arrangements (13, 14, 15). Each connecting arrangement (13, 14, 15) has a supporting part (18, 19, 20) firmly connected to the housing part (16) and having a convex spherical supporting surface (21, 22, 23) facing the chassis (12), and a counterpart (24, 25, 26) connected to the chassis (12) and having a rotationally symmetrical, preferably like-wise spherical mating surface (27, 28, 29) which widens continuously towards the housing part (16). Of the three counterparts (24, 25, 26), two counterparts (24, 25) are connected to the chassis (12) in such a way that they can move relative to one another essentially in a predetermined direction (30) and the third counterpart (26) and the two other counterparts (24, 25) are connected to the chassis ( 12) in such a way that they can move both in a predetermined direction (30) and in a direction (32) perpendicular to the said direction (30).
