ABSTRACT:
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus for a magnetic tape cassette has a rotary head mounted on the recording and/or reproducing apparatus and a loading mechanism for extracting a length of magnetic tape from a magnetic tape cassette and moving the length of magnetic tape to various positions corresponding to various operation modes of the recording and reproducing apparatus. The loading mechanism includes first and second movable members respectively movable along predetermined first and second paths. The rotary head is mounted in such a manner that the axis of the rotary head assembly lies oblique to a vertical axis in such a manner that first ends of the first and second paths lie adjacent the rotary head in a plane extending through the uppermost point and the lowermost point of the top surface of the rotary head and perpendicular to the medial plane of the magnetic tape and second ends of the first and second paths are remote from the rotary head, whereby the difference between the lengths of the first and second paths can be minimzied. Preferably, the rotary head is mounted in such a manner that the axis of the rotary head means lies oblique to the vertical axis such that the plane extending through the uppermost point and the lowermost point of the top surface of the rotary head means lies oblique to a reference line connecting the reel axes of a pair of tape reels in the magnetic tape cassette.
