Abstract
A magnetic-tape cassette apparatus having a deck for magnetic-tape cassettes with a reel drive mechanism for transporting a tape with a first and an opposite, second tape transport direction. The change-over from the first tape transport direction to the opposite second tape transport direction is affected by a switching mechanism which switches the reel-drive mechanism between a play mode in the forward direction and a play mode in the reverse direction. The switching mechanism includes a switching lever moveable from a first position for the first playing direction to a second position for the opposite second play direction. The switching lever is moved by a pair of switching wheels, whose teeth are engageable with associated teeth of adjacent flywheels for changing over the switching lever from the predetermined position for one playing direction to the predetermined position for the opposite other playing direction by actuating elements provided on the switching wheels.
