Abstract
A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus has main and sub chassis relatively movable between a first position in which a tape cassette is allowed to be mounted on and demounted from the reel bases and a second position in which magnetic tape extracted from the tape cassette is wound on the head assembly for recording or reproduction of electric signals. The apparatus has a braking mechanism designed for producing a braking effect on at least one of the reel bases when the sub chassis is in the first position. When the sub chassis is in the second position, the braking mechanism is engaged with a brake actuating mechanism on the main chassis so as to selectively brake the reel base in accordance with the state of the brake actuating mechanism operative in response to a manual input.
