Abstract
A mode change-over mechanism for a tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus wherein the operating mode is selected by depressing a selected one of a plurality of push-buttons. The mechanism includes a pair of operating gears and a pair of independently movable operating members. The operating gears are associated with selected ones of plural push-buttons through respective trigger members. Movement of the first operating member in response to depression of a push-button establishes one operating mode for the recorder/reproducer; movement of the second operating member in response to another push-button establishes a second mode; movement of both operating members responsive to a third push-button establishes another mode; and further modes are obtained by movement of the first operating member through plural paths.
