Abstract
A cassette holder which conveys a cassette between a cassette inserting position and a cassette loading position is opened at its top so as to form a channel-like section, and this top is covered with a cassette pressing plate which is urged downward by a spring. When the cassette holder including the cassette is moved to the cassette loading position, the cassette pressing plate follows this cassette holder and then pushes down the whole top face of the cassette so as to be able to prevent the cassette from an erroneous insertion and position the cassette quite stably and accurately on positioning pins in the cassette loading position.
