Abstract
An apparatus arranged to record or reproduce signals on or from a tape-shaped recording medium contained in a cassette, with tape reels and a pinch roller disposed within the cassette, by guiding and causing the medium to travel in an oblique posture relative to a cylindrical drum having magnetic heads comprises a moving mechanism arranged to move a first chassis which holds and carries the cassette and a second chassis which carries the drum relative to each other, a capstan disposed on the second chassis, and an urging member arranged to urge the capstan to be in pressed contact with the pinch roller. The capstan is thus arranged to be brought into pressed contact with the pinch roller by the urging force of the urging member.
