A cassette type recording and reproducing apparatus with which it is possible to use tape cassettes of a plurality of different sizes wherein the overall space in the cassette insertion direction occupied by a cassette discriminating member and a cassette insertion guide for ensuring correct insertion of small cassettes is made small so that a cassette stage for carrying cassettes from the vicinity of a front panel to a loading position inside the apparatus where recording and reproducing of information are carried out can be brought amply close to the front panel and the front-rear direction depth of the cassette stage can be made long to enable cassettes to be held firmly and stably on the cassette stage and the tape cassettes are pressed in optimum positions near their reel centers onto the cassette stage with a stronger force during loading than during ejecting so that slipping of the tape cassettes on the cassette stage during loading is prevented and during ejecting the tape cassettes can be smoothly and certainly ejected and small tape cassettes are ejected through a greater distance than large tape cassettes so that both large and small tape cassettes project outside the front panel by a suitable distance after they are ejected.
