Abstract
A recording and reproducing apparatus using a disk cartridge includes a cartridge holder in which the cartridge is received, a pivotable shutter, and a receiving portion mounted to the front end of the holder and coming into engagement with the shutter. The body of the apparatus is provided with an opening to allow insertion of the cartridge into the apparatus. The shutter is always biased in such a direction as to cover the opening, and is centrally provided with an extension which comes into engagement with the receiving portion, so that the holder is not operatively connected with the apparatus until the shutter is opened.
