Abstract
A tape loading mechanism of a video tape recorder includes a tape guide carrier for driving first and second groups of tape guides for pulling out withdrawing a tape from a cassette and winding the tape to a tape guide drum having an arcuate shape so as to rotate around the tape guide drum and drive the tape guide groups. The tape guide groups are mounted to end of the tape guide carrier and the carrier is disposed at the intermediate position of height between the first and second tape guide groups held by a positioning mechanism. Accordingly, the rotating plane of the tape guide carrier rotating around the guide drum is positioned between the first and second tape guide groups.
