ABSTRACT:
A cassette tape recorder includes a combined head composed of a recording/playback head and an erase head, a first tape guide member positioned adjacent to the combined head and movable therewith for limiting transverse movement of a magnetic tape in a tape cassette while the magnetic tape is running, a second tape guide member positioned in spaced relation to the combined head so as to confront a substantially central portion of the tape cassette for limiting transverse movement of the magnetic tape while it is running, and a third tape guide member positioned in substantially symmetric relation to the first tape guide member with respect to the second tape guide member for limiting transverse movement of the magnetic tape while it is running, the arrangement being that the first, second and third tape guide members jointly guide the magnetic tape when the latter is fed along in recording and playback modes, and the first and third tape guide members jointly guide the magnetic tape when the latter is fed along at a higher speed. In another embodiment, a recording/playback head and an erase head are provided separately from each other, and the first and second tape guide members are positioned respectively adjacent to the recording/playback and erase head. The magnetic tape is guided by the first, second and third tape guide members at all times in various modes.
