Abstract
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus comprising a guide roller for guiding and diverting a magnetic tape. The guide roller includes a roller member, which is rotatably and pivotably mounted on a shaft, and a guide flange for the magnetic tape, which guide flange is disposed near the shaft bearing location, the lower edge of the magnetic tape being pressed against the guide flange. In order to reduce the force exerted on the lower edge of the magnetic tape a stationary roller member is interposed between the rotatable roller member and the guide flange, and the two roller members are movable relative to one another in the direction of the bisector of the wrapping angle of the magnetic tape.
