Abstract
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus, such as a tape recorder, includes a recording and/or reproducing unit housed within a main body portion, an electro-acoustic transducing section, an actuating input unit, first and second connection cord assemblies and first and second cord take-up units. The recording and/or reproducing unit records and/or reproduces the information on or from a recording medium, such as a magnetic tape. An electro-magnetic transducer is fed with information signals reproduced by the recording and/or reproducing unit. An actuating input unit, removably mounted on the main body portion, sets or switches the recording or reproducing state of the recording and/or reproducing unit. The first connection cord assembly interconnects the actuating input unit and the recording and/or reproducing unit for exchanging information signals, and the second connection cord assembly interconnects the electro-acoustic transducing unit and the actuating input unit. The first take-up unit is provided in the main body portion for taking up the first connection cord assembly and the second take-up unit is provided in the actuating input unit for taking up the second connection …
