ABSTRACT:
A helical scanning type of magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus in which a first entrance-side tape height regulation guide is disposed in a level higher than a center of a plane of rotation of magnetic heads mounted on a rotary drum assembly when the magnetic tape is loaded on the rotary drum assembly, and a first exit-side tape height regulation guide is disposed in a level lower than the center of the plane of rotation of the magnetic heads. The rotary drum assembly is disposed in a higher position such that its upper end is in the same level as an upper end of a lid of a tape cassette. The cassette is disposed at a lever lower than that of the first exit-side tape height regulation guide. The first entrance-side and the first exit-side tape height regulation guides are driven by a loading ring inclined towards the cassette so as to move while engaging with the magnetic tape during loading or unloading. A capstan motor is accommodated in a space formed between the inclined loading ring and a main chassis. This construction enables reductions in the overall thickness and the weight of the apparatus.
