Level meters used on the GX-F66R are generic digital peak reading meters. Full-logic transport controls used on the GX-F66R let it respond to the slightest finger contact for fast and effortless transport function selection.

The Dolby-B system reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded on the GX-F66R by as much as 10 dB at the highest frequencies. To further maintain recording accuracy, the GX-F66R incorporates a switchable multiplex filter. When you record FM stereo broadcasts, the MPX filter of the GX-F66R can be swiched on to prevent the standard 19kHz FM pilot signal from interfering with the noise reduction system.

To make live recordings this deck has 2 microphone inputs to connect microphones with a jack connector. For undisturbed listening a jack connector for a pair of stereo headphones is supplied. Connection to other audio components for plaback can be achieved by a RCA cable and recording from a source by a RCA cable. All main transport commands can be issued remotely with a wired remote control.
