Abstract
A feed reel and a take-up reel of a full-size cassette are mounted directly on a feed reel table and a take-up reel table which constitute a tape running system. A feed reel of a C-cassette (compact cassette) is mounted directly on the feed reel table, while a take-up reel of the C-cassette receives a driving force transmitted from the take-up reel table through a torque transmitting mechanism. The full-size cassette is driven directly by the feed and take-up reel tables in the state wherein the tape is loaded by a tape loading member, so that a tape of the full-size cassette is run. On the other hand, in the state wherein a tape in the C-cassette is loaded by the tape loading member, the C-cassette is driven such that the feed reel of the C-cassette is rotated by the feed reel table while the take-up reel of the C-cassette receives a driving force from the take-up reel table 14 through the torque transmitting mechanism. Thus, the tape in the C-cassette is run.
