Abstract
A small-sized tape cassette adaptor system in which a small-sized tape cassette is accommodated in an adaptor whose size is the same as that of a standardized tape cassette so that the small-sized tape cassette may be loaded into a recording and/or reproducing apparatus utilizing the standardized tape cassette. Tape withdrawing levers are provided within the small-sized tape cassette for withdrawing a magnetic tape, and a rotating member is mounted within the adaptor in a position for rotating the tape withdrawing levers, so that the tape withdrawing levers are rotated by the rotating member upon insertion of the small-sized tape cassette into the adaptor.
