Abstract
A full cassette and a C cassette having different shapes and different dimensions are received in a tray moved to a cassette inserting position, with their feed reels coaxially positioned. As a tray is moved by a tray moving mechanism, the full cassette and C cassette are moved to a tape driving position while being protected by the tray and their feed reels are mounted on a common feed reel stand at the tape driving position. As the feed reel stand can be shared by the full cassette and C cassette, a cassette loading device can have a simple structure.
