Abstract
A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus has a housing with a movable section including a cassette holder for moving a magnetic tape cassette between an operative position and an eject position, a magnetic head assembly for carrying out the recording and reproducing operations on magnetic tape withdrawn from the operatively positioned cassette and a tape loading mechanism for loading or unloading the magnetic tape on or from the magnetic head assembly. The movable section is slidably movable in the horizontal direction between an open position where the movable section extends forwardly from the housing and a closed position where the movable section is contained within the housing. When the cassette holder is held in the operative position, the movable section can be positioned at the closed position with the housing. Further, the tape loading mechanism and the cassette holder are operated in correspondence with the motion of the movable section.
