Abstract
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus for a record carrier in tape form housed in a cassette has a cassette holder which can be swivelled between a load position and an operating position. In the load position, a cassette can be introduced as far as an introduction position in the cassette holder fixed by at least one limiting stop on the cassette holder. At least one pressure mechanism is arranged on a carrier which can swivel between an initial position and a working position and is coupled to the cassette holder. The swivel axis of the carrier is arranged offset parallel to the swivel axis of the cassette holder. The pressure mechanism comes into active connection during the swivelling of the carrier into its working position and of the cassette holder into its operating position, due to the mutual offset of the two swivel axes with a cassette introduced into the cassette holder and presses the cassette into its introduction position.
