ABSTRACT:
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus for a record carrier in the form of a tape contained in a cassette, which comprises at least one reel hub for taking up said record carrier which reel hub is axially accessible from opposite sides, is provided with a cassette holder which is movable between a loading position and an operating position. The cassette holder comprises a carrying member for a reel-hub hold-down means, which member is movable between a rest position and an operating position and for moving the carrying member there is provided at least one actuating member which projects into the path along which the cassette is inserted into the cassette holder. Upon insertion of the cassette the cassette drives the actuating member and this member moves the carrying member, out of its rest position, when the cassette holder is already in its loading position in which rest position the reel hub hold-down means is disposed outside the insertion path of the cassette, into its operating position, in which the reel-hub hold-down means engages the reel hub. When the cassette holder is in its operating position and the cassette is in its operating position the reel-hub hold-down means ensures that the reel hub is kept in a predetermined position relative to the winding mandrel (FIG. 4).
