Abstract
A tape recorder using a magnetic erase head wherein the erase head is brought into contact with a tape in the record mode and is separated therefrom in the play mode. A record operating member determines whether or not the erase head is brought into contact with the tape. The movement of the erase head is controlled by the rotational force of the motor, thereby improving 'soft-' or 'feather-touch' operation.
