ABSTRACT:
A magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus has incorporated therein a tape cassette adapter which can house therein a small tape cassette and which has a mechanism for drawing out a magnetic tape from the small tape cassette to attain nearly the same tape travel path to that of a large tape cassette in order to load the magnetic tape on a tape drive mechanism. The tape cassette adapter can have a position that it will not interfere with the loading and unloading of the large tape cassette, a position where at least a part of the tape cassette adapter is projected outside from the apparatus so that the samll tape cassette can be housed into or removed from the adapter, and a position where the drawn-out magnetic tape is driven by a tape drive mechanism of the apparatus. Either the small or large tape cassette can be easily loaded on or unloaded from the apparatus.
