Abstract
A recording and/or reproducing device. A cassette, which contains a magnetic tape and a coupling element connected to the magnetic tape, can be loaded into the device. The device includes a pull-out element which can be coupled to the coupling element so as to form a pull-out assembly. The pull-out assembly can be moved to the reel hub of a take-up reel. A radial positioning structure is provided between the reel hub and the pull-out assembly. The radial positioning structure is formed by two projecting portions, of which a first projecting portion projects from the reel hub and the second projecting portion projects from the pull-out assembly.
