<p>A recording and/or playback apparatus for recording and playing recordings on a tape-shaped record carrier accommodated within a box-shaped cartridge is provided. The cartridge is of the standard cassette type having a top, a bottom and four side walls with one of the side walls provided with at least one opening to accommodate therethrough a magnetic head. The apparatus has at least one magnetic head securely mounted in a fixed position on the frame with a tape guide surface connected to the head for engagement with the tape in the cartridge. The apparatus has a support structure movable between a position within which the cassette is loaded into the support and a position in which the cartridge is placed in an operative position. The support is pivotably mounted about a pivotal axis arranged close to the magnetic head so that when the support with the cartridge carried therein is pivoted about the axis, the tape guide surface of the magnetic head will automatically penetrate the opening in the side wall of the cartridge into cooperative engagement with the tape. At the same time a tape driving spindle mounted on the apparatus will simultaneously engage the tape carrying core of the cartridge for driving the tape.</p> |
