Abstract
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus draws a recording tape out of a cassette and places the tape around a rotary drum having at least one head to perform recording and/or reproducing. The supply-side and take-up-side reels are rotated to wind the tape for a predetermined amount of time after the initiation of the unloading operation. Then, one of the reels is stopped, and the other reel is continuously rotated to further wind the tape.
