Abstract
A new cassette tape player shifts its head, with a simple mechanism, from a play-back position to a fast forwarding position which allows detection of blank areas between recorded musical performances. The tape player has a pair of slide cam plates in the chassis. When either one of the slide cam plate moves, the head takes a play-back position. Movement of both cam plates slightly retracts the head while maintaining a tape contact. The tape runs in a fast-forwarding mode, permitting the detection of the blank areas between the recorded musical performances. In cooperation with the slide cam plates, a switch mechanism ensures that a reproducing function of the switch is maintained during the above mentioned shift.
