Abstract
A channel changing mechanism in a tape player includes a pinch roller change plate for alternatively bringing a pair of pinch rollers to and apart from a pair of capstan shafts, and a power plate movable to its forward-mode, reverse-mode and neutral positions responsively to the pinch roller change plate and a power gear engageable with the power plate and formed with two chipped portions along its geared circumference to be opposed to a motor-driven gear when the power gear is locked. The power plate is locked at the forward-mode or reverse-mode position with a delay corresponding to a half revolution of the power gear after the source power is supplied to the tape player.
