PURPOSE: To make continuous reproducing of each cassette possible with one operation by driving the second deck with a positive pulse at the stop of reproducing of the first deck and driving the third deck with a negative pulse at the stop of the second deck in a device provided with 3≤ decks.

CONSTITUTION: When the second and the third play switches 6 and 7, pause switches 15 and 30, and the first play switch 5 are set, the first deck is set to the reproducing state. After reproducing, the switch 5 is turned off, and a power supply circuit 4 supplies power to the second deck driving transistor TR 8 and a plunger driving circuit 17. Therefore, the second motor 2 is rotated, and TRs 23 and 24 are turned on by positive pulses of a simultaneous positive pulse generating part 22, and a plunger 16 releases the switch 15, and the second deck is set to the reproducing state. After reproduction of a tape in the second deck is terminated, a pulse generating part 38 generates a negative pulse similarly to set the third deck to the reproducing state.
