ABSTRACT:
An automatic cassette loading and reproducing apparatus has main storage bins for storing recorded cassettes for normal use, for example, recorded with regularly scheduled news stories or commercials to be broadcast, auxiliary storage bins for receiving at least one recorded cassette for emergency use, for example, recorded with a late-breaking news story, a cassette transporter for selectively transporting recorded cassettes for normal use and emergency use between the respective storage bins and cassette reproducing devices, such as, VTRs, and a control device, for example, a micro-computer, for controlling the cassette reproducing devices and transporter and being programmed for a normal mode in which the recorded cassettes for normal use are reproduced in a predetermined sequence established in accordance with coded indications on the respective cassettes and an emergency mode in response to mere placement of a cassette for emergency use in one of the auxiliary storage bins, and in which the predetermined sequence of reproducing the cassettes for normal use is interrupted or suspended and reproducing of a cassette for emergency use proceeds instead.
