Abstract
Signal-recording/reproducing apparatus for use with a tape cassette includes a cylinder having mounted thereon heads for recording and reproducing a signal on and from a magnetic tape within the tape cassette, respectively. A pair of tape guides are movable between an unloading position remote from the cylinder and a loading position adjacent thereto. The tape is withdrawn out of the tape cassette by the tape guides when they are moved from the unloading position to the loading position. When the tape guides are in the loading position, an angular extent over which the tape is in contact with a non-rotatable guide element of one of the tape guides located at an exit side where the tapes leaves the cylinder is less than that over which the tape is in contact with a non-rotatable guide element of the other tape guide located at an approaching side where the tape approaches the cylinder.
