ABSTRACT:
In a cassette recording and/or reproducing apparatus of the tape in which an operating mode selector, such as a push button for selecting a recording and/or reproducing operation, is automatically returned to an original position from a record/play position at the end of the playing of a cassette; a cassette changer having a cassette holder movable from a record/play position to an eject mode, further includes at least one, and preferably five resilient members and a loading device for receiving a second cassette to be exchanged with a first cassette in the holder with the resilient member or members being charged with elastic energy when the second cassette is loaded in the changer, and for exchanging the second cassette for the first cassette by means of the elastic energy discharged from the resilient member or members upon the return of the operating mode selector to its original position. Preferably, five springs respectively provide the elastic energy for selecting the eject mode, withdrawing the first cassette from the holder, inserting the second cassette into the holder, moving the second cassette and holder to the record/play position, and moving the operating mode selector to the record/play position.
