ABSTRACT:
A recording and/or reproducing device having reel bases which move to be adaptable to a plurality of different size cassettes. A tape is pulled out of the cassette which has been loaded into the device and is brought into contact with a head, thereby allowing the device to record and/or reproduce information on/from such a tape. The device includes a reel base movement mechanism for moving the reel bases to predetermined positions so that the reel bases are adaptable to the tape cassette to be loaded. The device also includes a lid opener for opening a lid of each tape cassette. A lid opener movement mechanism allows the lid opener to move to a predetermined position so as to be adaptable to the tape cassette. The lid opener movement mechanism is interlocked with the reel base movement mechanism. Thus, the lid opener is displaced to be adaptable to the loaded tape cassette.
