Abstract
A cassette tape recorder is provided with mode selection levers which are selectively engageable and retainable to achieve operation in a plurality of recorder modes. Playback and record modes are released either by the operation of a stop lever or an eject lever. A pause mode is provided which may be associated with other modes, such as the record mode. When progressing from a record/pause mode to a stop mode, the record mode lever is released first, so as to avoid inadvertant operation in the record mode before achieving the stop mode.
