摘要

A system is comprised of a cartridge having a recording and/or reproducing mechanism unit and an electronic equipment. The recording and/or reproducing mechanism unit is formed in such a manner that a rotary head drum, a supply side tape reel and a take-up side tape reel are made integral one another and then incorporated in a cartridge housing, so that the cartridge housing can be formed thin. In the cartridge housing, the supply side tape reel is disposed higher the take-up side tape reel or with a step difference therebetween in the height direction, a magnetic tape drawn out from the supply side tape reel is wound amount the rotary head drum via a tape guide roller and an inclined guide on the drum entrance side, then wound around the take-up side tape reel via an inclined guide and a tape guide roller on the drum exit side, and the rotary head drum is disposed at an inclination angle nearly horizontal. <IMAGE>
