Abstract
In a recording and/or reproducing apparatus of the kind arranged to cause a tape extending along the front side of an opening part of a tape cassette to be relatively wrapped around the circumferential surface of a rotary drum by causing the rotary drum to enter the opening part of the tape cassette from its front side, there is provided a tape-height-restricting tape guide including a roller part which has at least its circumferential surface made of an elastic material for bringing the tape into pressed contact with a capstan and a flange part which is provided with a cutout part for avoiding the capstan. The tape guide is disposed within the opening part of the tape cassette.
