ABSTRACT:
A magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus comprises a guide drum having a plurality of video heads for recording and/or reproducing an information signal onto and/or from a magnetic tape which is spirally wrapped around the guide drum, and first through fourth guide members. The first guide member is arranged on a side of the guide drum where the tape begins to make contact with a peripheral surface of the guide drum in a traveling direction of the tape, and guides the tape which is perpendicular to a horizontal reference plane and which has a center line parallel to this reference plane toward the guide drum. The second guide member is arranged on a side of the guide drum where the tape terminates the contact with the guide drum, and guides the tape which separates from the guide drum. The first and second guide members are located at positions such that the tape is wrapped around the guide drum over an angular range which exceeds 180.degree.. The third guide member is arranged downstream of the second guide member, and guides the tape which has been guided by the second guide member so as to change the traveling direction of the tape. The fourth guide member is arranged downstream of the third guide member, and guides the tape so that the tape becomes perpendicular to the reference plane and the center line of the tape becomes parallel to the reference plane.
