MAGNETIC RECORDING AND REPRODUCING APPARATUS OF ROTARY HEAD TYPE

摘要

The apparatus of rotary head type such as a rotatable VTR has a tape guide for guiding the magnetic tape when the tape runs on and around a cylinder carrying rotary heads. A tape loading drive is provided for driving the tape loading movable member so as to move the tape guide between a tape loading position where it places the magnetic tape in contact with the cylinder through a predetermined angle and an unloading position where it keeps the magnetic tape away from the cylinder. A locating unit is on a cylinder base carrying the cylinder. The location unit is adapted for engaging with the tape loading movable member in the tape loading position so as to locate the tape guide with respect to the cylinder.
