<p>PURPOSE:To enable visual confirmation of the running condition and the remaining amount of a cassette video tape from the front side of a recorder by providing a mirror pat above the top surface of the tape loaded on the deck as well as a mirror part that rotates with the rotation of a double-insertion preventing part and a see-through movable lid. CONSTITUTION:Two light sources 16 illuminate the top surface of the cassette tape 2 that is loaded on a deck 5. A mirror part 17 is located above the top surface of the cassette tape 2 loaded on the deck 5, and reflects the image of the tape 2 illuminated by the mirror 16 to another mirror part 18. The mirror part 18 is supported movably by a guide part 7. Also on the guide part 7, a double-insertion preventing part 8 is provided. When the tape 2 is loaded, the preventing part 8 rotates, and the mirror part 17 reflects the image of the tape 2 toward the outside through an inlet 3. A movable lid 19 fixed at the inlet 3 in freely open and close state is so formed as the image of the tape 2 reflected by the mirror part 18 can be seen from outside. Thus, the running condition and the remaining amount of the tape is made noticeable from the front side of the recorder.</p> |
