Level meters used on the A710 are generic digital peak reading meters. Full-logic transport controls used on the A710 let it respond to the slightest finger contact for fast and effortless transport function selection.

Dolby C-type used in the A710 provides 20 dB of noise reduction above about 1,000 Hz, fully doubling the amount given by B-type. The three-head configuration of the A710 requires a Double Dolby system, one for recording and one for playback. The 19kHz multiplex pilot slgnal present in FM stereo broadcasts can cause false triggering of the noise reduction system. The switchable MPX filter of the A710 filters out the pilot signal, and assuring proper Dolby processing of FM stereo programs.

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 XLR cable and recording from a source by a XLR cable. All main transport commands can be issued remotely with a wired remote control.
