Abstract
In an auto-reverse type tape recorder also capable of repeatedly playing a tape in both directions, the tape travel is not shut off when the mode of operation is manually changed over from the normal run mode to the reverse run mode, or vice-versa, and after a changeover to the record mode, manual changeover operation is locked-out or made impossible in order to prevent the travel of the tape from being inadvertently changed over and, further, the travel of the tape is stopped without fail at the end of either the normal run mode or the reverse run mode.
