Abstract
A cassette lid opening and closing system for a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus capable of opening a cassette lid during the seating of a tape cassette on a deck and closing it after the seating is accomplished, to thereby lower the height of the deck, includes a lid-open member operating link for swinging a lid-open member to open the cassette lid during the seating of a cassette holder on a slider, a lever for closing the open cassette lid by releasing a lid-pressing operation of the lid-open member when the tape cassette is moved to a seated position on a lower chassis, and a lever operator for operating the lever, so that the cassette lid is closed during recording or reproducing operation. Advantageously, a closed cassette lid allows a corresponding reduction in the size of the deck.
