Abstract
The present invention relates to a tape recorder and, more particularly, to a tape recorder having an automatic reverse function. The tape recorder has a selecting structure, a head and a head rotating mechanism. When control buttons are operated by a user, the selecting structure can select one of the forward and reverse tape transport directions, and the head rotating mechanism can rotate the head to one of the two positions corresponding to the forward and reverse tape transport directions in accordance with a selection by the selecting structure. The tape contact surface of the selecting structure then faces the tape.
