Cassette tape player compatible with cassette tapes of different formats.

摘要

A cassette tape player compatible with cassette tapes of different formats incorporates a cassette holder (10) which holds an analog compact cassette (1) and a digital compact cassette (2) in a state they are placed one upon another. The cassette holder includes a cassette holder main body (11) having an analog cassette storage section (12), a digital cassette storage section (14), and a second cassette holder member (13). The second cassette holder member (13) is supported by the cassette holder main body (11) such that it is slightly movable in a moving direction of the cassette holder, and has a slider moving lever for opening the slider of the digital cassette. A cassette tape player with such a cassette holder has separate magnetic heads for analog and digital signals, thereby lengthening the life of the magnetic heads and achieving faithful recording and reproduction. <IMAGE>
