ABSTRACT:
A cassette changer is mountable on a magnetic recording-reproduction apparatus having a cassette inlet-outlet opening. The cassette changer includes a new cassette housing portion for housing a new cassette to be inserted into the cassette inlet-outlet opening for recording or reproduction, a processed cassette housing portion provided below the new cassette housing portion for housing a processed cassette discharged from the cassette inlet-outlet opening after recording or reproduction, and a separator provided in a boundary portion of the new cassette housing portion and the processed cassette housing portion. The separator is pivotable between a cassette discharge position where only the processed cassette housing portion faces the cassette inlet-outlet opening with the new cassette in the new cassette housing portion being supported thereon and a cassette insertion position where the separator is pivoted downwardly from the cassette discharge position by the weight of the new cassette and only the new cassette housing portion faces the cassette inlet-outlet opening. A cassette withdrawing device transfers the processed cassette from the cassette inlet-outlet opening into the processed cassette housing portion when the separator is set in the cassette discharge position. A cassette insertion device transfer the new cassette from the new cassette housing portion to the cassette inlet-outlet opening when the separator is set in the cassette insertion position.
