Abstract
A double-deck video tape recorder has two tape cassette slots defined in a front panel thereof for inserting and ejecting respective magnetic tape cassettes therethrough. The double-deck video tape recorder also has a pair of drive mechanisms disposed in a housing for recording information on and reproducing information from the magnetic tape cassettes inserted in the respective drive mechanisms through the tape cassette slots. When an edit direction key is pressed, a control system places one of the drive mechanisms in a playback mode and another of the drive mechanisms in a recording mode. When a start/pause key is pressed, the control system starts to operate the one of the drive mechanisms to reproduce recorded information from the magnetic tape cassette inserted therein and also to operate the other drive mechanism to record the reproduced information in the magnetic tape cassette inserted therein.
