Abstract
A cassette autochanger capable of lowering a load on a cassette and a cassette transfer mechanism of a transfer machine when the cassette is supplied to and received from a recording and/or reproducing apparatus, such as a data recorder, by the cassette transfer mechanism. In a normal condition, the cassette is fed from the transfer machine to the data recorder in a low-speed transfer mode. When a power failure takes place after the start of a cassette feeding operation, the cassette is thereafter fed in a high-speed transfer mode.
