A record bearing medium cassette loading device for a recording and/or reproducing apparatus including: a cassette carrying device, which includes an elastic member, and a cassette receiving member arranged to have the cassette held between them and which is arranged to be driven to move in the direction of insertion of the cassette; a position restricting member which restricts the position the elastic member in the cassette carrying device; and a driving mechanism for driving the cassette carrying device in the cassette inserting direction. In loading the cassette, the record bearing medium containing cassette is manually pushed in between the elastic member and the cassette receiving member of the cassette carrying device until the elastic member is restricted by the restricting member. Following that, the driving mechanism performs an inward pulling action on the carrying device. During this pulling action, the cassette holding force of the carrying device is increased by causing the restricting member to act on the elastic member.
