Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an accident that a cassette is caught on a panel cover by interlocking the operation of a loading mechanism to put in and out a cassette and the operation of a panel cover opening and closing mechanism with each other. CONSTITUTION:When an instruction to take out the cassette is inputted by a loading control signal (a), a loading control circuit 7 detects the opening and closing state of the panel cover based on a panel cover opening and closing state signal (h) sent from a panel cover driving mechanism 5. When the cover 4 is opened, the loading control circuit 7 outputs the control signal (c) to take out the cassette to a loading mechanism 6. If the cover 4 is closed or is positioned at an intermediate position, the loading control circuit 7 sends the signal (g) to open the cover 4 to the panel cover control circuit 8. Then, the cover control circuit 8 issues a drive command to the cover driving mechanism based on the signal (g), and the cover driving mechanism 5 receives the drive command, and opens the cover 4. Thus, a contact accident with the cassette panel cover 4 can be prevented.
