Abstract
A tape recorder including two chassis which are relatively movable from the tape loading and unloading positions is provided. One of the chassis mounts thereon a rotary drum, a capstan, a tape loading mechanism and motors for driving these segments. Another chassis mounts thereon a reel stand, a mode switching mechanism and drive motors for driving these segments. The tape loading mechanism includes first and second guide members adapted to be movable along an outer periphery of the rotary drum. The guide members have tape draw-out pins for drawing out the tape from a tape cassette and a third guide member adapted to draw out the tape in cooperation with the first and second guide members. The third guide member has a first tape draw-out pin which changes the height of the tape draw-out position to a height which is the same as that of the tape cassette position. The third guide member also has a second tape draw-out pin for directing the tape subjected to positional change by the first pin to a direction parallel with the tape cassette.
