Abstract: A cassette tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus capable of selectively loading at least two tape cassettes whose respective spaces between reels differ from each other, has a pair of reel bases moved to be made to coincide with either of the spaces between the reels, a pair of position reference pins used in common to put either of the two tape cassettes in a horizontally and vertically exact position, and a pair of height reference pins moved together with the pair of reel bases to put either of the two tape cassettes in a vertically exact position, so that the bottom face, the front face and the central plane equidistant from a pair of reels of the cassette are exactly put in respective predetermined normal face or plane positions.

Abstract: A signal reproduction apparatus is disclosed, which simply permits control operations in operation control modes absorutely corresponding to detection regions of the touch panel and also various controls, e.g., speed control and feed control or the like corresponding to changes of the touch operation state of the touch panel with the lapse of time. The apparatus thus improves the operation control property of a multi-function VTR including JOG mode functions or the like.
