Abstract
A cassette guiding member 20a of a cassette inserting slot 37 is provided with a slope 24 as a notch to enable viewing a label on the cassette when the cassette is loaded into the product. A first cassette door 50 is rotatably mounted to the cassette inserting slot 37 and is provided with a transparent part 50a to enable viewing of the cassette back label 11 via the above slope 24. In addition, a second cassette door 51 is rotatably mounted at the back of the first cassette door 50. The second cassette door 51 opens in association with the first cassette door 50 by engaging with it and bears a display mark 51a related to the product on the surface. Thus, the label 11 on the cassette can be seen easily through the transparent part 50a without pressing or opening the first cassette door 50 even after cassette loading, and the external light is obstructed by the second cassette door 51 for stable product performance. Viewing capability of the display mark 51a via the transparent part 50a even when the cassette is loaded improves the function and achieves optimum product appearance.
