Level meters used on the Aurex PC-E70 cassette deck are generic digital peak reading meters with multi-color indication to provide visual saturation level of tape.

The Dolby-B system reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded on the Aurex PC-E70 by as much as 10 dB at the highest frequencies. To further maintain recording accuracy, the PC-E70 incorporates a switchable multiplex filter. When you record FM stereo broadcasts, the MPX filter of the PC-E70 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.
