Level meters used on the K-537E are generic digital peak reading meters. Full-logic transport controls used on the K-537E let it respond to the slightest finger contact for fast and effortless transport function selection.

Dolby C-type used in the K-537E 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 K-537E 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 K-537E filters out the pilot signal, and assuring proper Dolby processing of FM stereo programs.

Connection to other audio components for plaback can be achieved by a RCA cable and recording from a source by a RCA cable.
