Abstract
To simplify the construction of a manual operating device for an auto-reverse cassette tape recorder, in which the feed direction of the tape is reversed by depressing an FF operating member and a REW operating member at a time. A FF/REW locking mechanism is rocked to a greater extent when a REW operating member is depressed alone than when an FF operating member is depressed alone. An auto-reverse mechanism is operated with the greater extent rocking movement of the FF/REW locking mechanism.
