Abstract
A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus which includes a set of loading members for drawing out a magnetic tape accommodated in a tape cassette and wound around a set of reels disposed to contact the same plane. The tape storing portions of the tape cassette are directed along part of the outer peripheral surface of a rotary head cylinder in an approximately M-shape, and a single inclining member is provided in the vicinity of one tape storing portion for causing a tape travelling reference face of the magnetic tape drawn out from the tape storing portion to be inclined. The first loading member corresponding to the tape storing portion is rotatably supported at right angles with respect to the tape travelling reference face of the magnetic tape inclined by the inclining member, while the other loading member corresponding to the other tape storing portion is rotatably supported at right angles with respect to the tape travelling reference face of the magnetic tape drawn out from the other tape storing portion.
