MAGNETIC RECORDING AND REPRODUCING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a simple and inexpensive mechanism without providing a changeover member exclusive for changing over the transmission of driving power from a capstan motor to a cassette loading device. SOLUTION: A changeover gear 15 is moved in the axial direction to the position where the engagement is released from the engaged position against a transmission gear 17 transmitting the driving power of the capstan motor. The changeover gear 15 is engaged with an input gear 19 of the cassette loading device through an idler gear 18. A changeover operating part 13a integrated with a sub-brake is inserted between a substrate 30 and the changeover gear 15 to make the transmission gear 17 engage with the changeover gear 15 only at the time of the mode for driving the cassette loading device.
