Abstract
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus comprising a cassette receptacle (5), into which a cassette (3) can be inserted manually in a direction of insertion (4) and which comprises at least one member (15) for retaining a cassette, which member is at least partly movable in the direction of insertion from an initial position to an operating position and can be coupled to a cassette in its initial position. Said member is coupled to a drive lever (22) via a pin-slot linkage (21) in order to be driven by a motor (27) via a drive mechanism (26), the pin (40) cooperating with a longitudinal wall (42) of the slot (39) when the drive lever (22) is driven by the motor. In its other longitudinal wall (43) the slot (39) has a recess (44) which extends substantially in the direction of insertion. When the member (15) is in its initial position the recess (44) and the pin (40) are situated opposite one another and when a cassette (3) is coupled to the member (15) the pin (40) engages the recess (44) and is clamped against a wall portion (45) to block a pivotal movement of the drive lever (22). (FIG. 1).
