MAGNETIC RECORDING/REPRODUCING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent tape slackening or tape damage during loading so as to improve reliability in a mechanism having a loading mechanism mounted to have a timing for reducing the length of a tape path during loading. SOLUTION: In a loading mechanism having a timing for reducing a tape path length during loading by performing loading while winding a tape 2 with a capstan 50 during a change from an unloading position to a loading completion position at the time of loading, tape slackening during loading is prevented, and the generation of tape damage is also prevented.
