A recording and/or reproducing apparatus having a plurality of tape transport modes is arranged such that, in changing a stop mode over to a desired mode through an intermediate tape transport mode among the plurality of tape transport modes, the tape is allowed to begin to travel when the process of mode change-over comes to the intermediate tape transport mode and the mode change-over process is continued further to the desired tape transport mode, while the tape is thus allowed to travel before the desired tape transport mode is attained. This arrangement substantially shortens the length of time required for mode change-over, so that the operability of the apparatus can be enhanced.
