When the pickup roller rotates clockwise, the gear 1 moves up to drive the pickup roller of the upper cassette holder; when the motor rotates counterclockwise, on the other hand, the gear 1 moves down to drive the pickup roller of the lower cassette holder. The figure be- low shows how the drive of the pickup roller is controlled.
