ABSTRACT:
A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus is provided which is selectively applicable for tape cartridges and tape cassettes and which is formed with an entryway into which a tape cartridge or a tape cassette is to be inserted. A first magnetic tape head is located deeper in the entryway for playing the tape contained in the cartridge and a second magnetic tape head is located below the entryway for playing the tape contained in the cassette. A holder for receiving and conveying the tape cassette is positioned in the entryway when neither the tape cartridge nor the tape cassette is inserted into the entryway. Also a holder positioning mechanism is provided for moving the holder downward out of the entryway when the tape cartridge is inserted into the entryway, thereby permitting the tape cartridge to be pushed deeper into the entryway so that the cartridge tape can come into cooperative engagement with the first magnetic tape head. The holder positioning mechanism also moves the holder downward into a predetermined position where the cassette tape can come into cooperative engagement with the second magnetic tape head when the holder receives the tape cassette therein.
