Abstract
In a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus, an idler gear is selectively moved between controlling a take up reel and a supply reel. An idler controlling apparatus limits the swing angle of the idler to a relatively small angle when the upper chassis is being seated on the lower chassis or when the tape is being ejected. The idler controlling apparatus also permits a wide swing angle of the idler when the tape recording/reproduction operations take place. The wide swing permits the idler gear to selectively control the take up and supply reels.
