ABSTRACT:
A cassette loading apparatus for a video tape recorder includes a cabinet having a cassette insertion opening therein which is adapted to insertably receive a video tape cassette, and a lid mounted on the cabinet for movement between a first position, wherein the cassette insertion opening is closed, and a second position, wherein the cassette insertion opening is open. A cassette holder is adapted to accept and hold a cassette inserted therein and is movable between a cassette insertion position, which is adjacent to the cassette insertion opening, and a cassette operation position, spaced rearwardly and downwardly from the cassette insertion position. A cassette holder driving mechanism is provided to move the cassette holder between the cassette insertion position and the cassette operation position. When the lid is moved to its second or open position, a switch is automatically closed, for actuating the cassette holder driving mechanism so that the cassette holder is moved from the cassette operation position to the cassette insertion position.
