A magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus for recording and/or reproducing signals on and/or from a magnetic tape which is accommodated within a cassette comprises a case, an inserting opening in the case through which the cassette is inserted into the apparatus in a first direction, a magnetic head for recording and/or reproducing signals on and/or from the tape, a holding mechanism for holding the cassette which is inserted in the first direction via a cassette inserting path in a loaded position within the apparatus, where the magnetic head is in contact with the tape of the cassette in the loaded position, a driving mechanism movable between a first position and a second position, which driving mechanism is separated from and opposes the cassette in the loaded position in the first position and is engageable with the cassette in the second position to drive the tape, a guiding mechanism for guiding the movement of the driving mechanism so that the driving mechanism constantly moves linearly between the first and second positions in a direction approximately perpendicular to the cassette inserting path extending in the first direction, and a moving mechanism connected to the driving mechanism for moving the driving mechanism between the first and second positions. |
