Abstract
A magnetic recording and reproduction apparatus includes a cylinder; a chassis section having the cylinder provided thereon; a tape pull-out member pulling out the magnetic tape; a positioning member having a ramp surface; and an urging section for urging the tape pull-out member. The first position is a position at which information recording to, and information reproduction from, the magnetic tape is possible. The tape pull-out member has a second surface facing the first surface. The tape pull-out member includes a projection provided on the second surface. The tape pull-out member is urged by the urging section such that the projection presses the ramp surface at the first position. A force received by the projection from the ramp surface, by the projection pressing the ramp surface, acts on the projection in a direction from the ramp surface toward the first surface.
