ABSTRACT:
A VTR with a monitor-equipped built-in camera includes a monitor/VTR portion and a camera portion. The monitor/VTR portion is integrally formed of a VTR portion holding a removable tape cassette and a monitor portion including a liquid crystal display device. A rotary mechanism attaches the camera portion to the monitor/VTR portion in a relatively rotatable manner. The monitor/VTR portion also includes an invertor for inverting a displayed image on the monitor. In the above configuration, the rotary mechanism includes a flexible connecting member for electrically connecting plural rotatable parts. The connecting member includes a coiling portion and first and second connecting portions. The coiling portion has a vortex structure and is disposed in a central portion of the rotary mechanism. The first and second connecting portions are extracted, respectively, from a starting end and a terminal end of the coiling portion, and extend parallel to a coiling central axis of the coiling portion. The first and second portions rotate relative to one another. Furthermore, a cutout portion may be provided in at least one of the first and second connecting portions of the connecting member to reduce stress when the one of the first and second connecting portions is bent.
