ABSTRACT:
A tape loading device capable of obtaining sufficient information in a region of a tape necessary for recording and reproduction. The tape loading device being provided with two guide assemblies (38) and (47) for wrapping a magnetic tape (6) drawn from a supply reel and a take-up reel, respectively, around an outer circumferential surface of a head drum (1). The guide assemblies (38) and (47) respectively including sliders (39) and (48) movable between a tape loading start position and a tape loading end position, and holders (40) and (49) rotatably supported on the sliders (39) and (48) for respectively holding inclined guides (40a) and (49a). Rotational centers (O.sub.1) and (O.sub.2) of the holders (40) and (49) being positioned so that a distance (S) between the inclined guide (40a) and the outer circumferential surface of the head drum (1) and a distance (T) between the inclined guide (49a) and the outer circumferential surface of the head drum (1) can be varied by rotation of the holders (40) and (49). With this construction, a wrapping quantity of the magnetic tape (6) wrapped around the outer circumferential surface of the head drum (1) at the tape loading end position can be adjusted by varying the distances (S) and (T).
