Abstract
Disclosed is a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus including a guide drum having at least one recording/reproducing head and a loading mechanism for pulling out a tape from a tape cassette mounted on the recording/reproducing apparatus and for wrapping the tape around the guide drum. The loading mechanism includes first and second loading devices each having a vertical rotatable pole and an inclined pole and the first and second loading devices are engaged with first and second guide grooves and are moved along the first and second guide grooves. At least one of the first and second guide grooves is branched in the vicinity of the loading termination position into two branch grooves so that the inclined pole of the corresponding loading device is substantially and angularly displaced with respect to the vertical rotatable pole by a predetermined angle in the vicinity of the loading termination position as said vertical rotatable pole reaches said loading termination position so as to form a predetermined tape path.
