Abstract
A magnetic recording reproducing apparatus is made ready to operation by insertion thereto of a pack housing an endless recording medium. When a magnetic card is inserted into the apparatus with the pack inserted thereto, the contents, informations or data recorded on the magnetic card are read out and recorded on the endless recording medium and then the recorded contents, informations or data are reproduced from the endless recording medium. After passage of the magnetic card through the apparatus, the reproduction from the endless recording medium will repeatedly continue. When a magnetic card is inserted into the apparatus without any pack inserted thereto, a direct reproduction from the magnetic card is performed. When another type of a pack housing an endless recording medium having a longer playing time period is inserted into the apparatus, the reproduction from the recording medium can be effected, and any information transfer from the magnetic card to the recording medium cannot be performed and any direct reproduction from the magnetic card cannot be effected.
