Abstract

A video tape recorder includes a pinch roller mechanism driven by a capstan motor to closely fit to a capstan a tape running from a rotary head. The tape is driven in a selected mode by a reel mechanism driven by a tape loading motor. Different mechanisms and members of the recorder are activated at proper relative timings which are established by a timing control mechanism driven by the capstan motor.
