Abstract
In a tape player configured to wind a tape pulled out of a cassette onto a rotary head to play the tape, a tension mechanism includes a mode member to control the position of a tension control member according to a selected tape mode so as to establish relative contact between a tension member and a tape under a constant pressure in a play mode and separate them in a stop mode.
