Abstract
The magnetic tape recorder exhibits an insertion channel into which a cassette containing a magnetic tape is inserted in a longitudinal direction. A capstan driven by a tape drive motor and a magnetic head are disposed at one side of the insertion channel. A dust cover for the cassette is hinged out by a pivot arrangement during closing of a cover for the insertion channel. The magnetic head is disposed on a magnetic head carrier that is pivotable around an axis and is coupled with the cover for the insertion channel such that the magnetic head is pivotable into place behind the dust cover in contacting relation to the magnetic tape after said dust cover has been opened. The cassette is locked in a defined working position after the cover for the insertion channel is closed. For removal of the cassette, the magnetic head is pivoted out of its operating position into an idle position as the cover for the insertion channel is opened, whereupon the dust cover is hinged back into its closed position.
