An eight-page saddle-stitched A4 booklet for three DENON cassette decks with horizontal loading: the tray slides out to the front and the cassette lies flat like a CD instead of standing upright as in an ordinary deck. The centre spread goes entirely to the mechanism: cassettes cascading above the tray, the transport from above and below, the head block, the capstans, a Dolby HX Pro graph, with the specification squeezed onto the last page. The DRS-810G is the only three-head unit here, finished in Grace Gold with wood side panels to match DENON CD players and DAT decks; the DRR-780 adds auto-reverse with an infrared leader sensor, while the DRS-610 stays a plain black two-head deck.
- 水平ローディング機構（トレイ式） - horizontal tray loading: the cassette lies flat and the transport is mounted horizontally, which suppresses axial flywheel vibration and modulation noise
- クローズドループ・デュアルキャプスタン方式 - closed-loop dual capstan - two capstan pairs lock the tape (DRS-810G)
- 3ヘッドシステム - separate record and playback heads with real-time recording monitoring (DRS-810G)
- コンピュータ制御サイレント・メカニズム - Silent Mechanism - computer-controlled transport; on power loss the pinch roller quietly returns to STOP (DRS-810G)
- 単結晶無酸素銅（PC-OCC）線 - PC-OCC single-crystal oxygen-free copper head wire: less signal degradation, better treble and MOL (DRS-810G)
- ダイキャストヘッドベース - die-cast aluminium head base: passes no spurious vibration, prevents head tilt and azimuth error (DRS-810G)
- ドルビーHXプロ - Dolby HX Pro - automatic bias adjustment against treble overbias during recording
- ドルビーB/Cノイズリダクション - Dolby B/C noise reduction - all three models
- マニュアルバイアスコントロール（バイアスファインボリウム付） - manual bias fine adjustment for the specific tape, on top of the auto selector (DRS-810G)
- オートテープセレクター（3段） - three-position auto tape selector: TYPE I (NORMAL), TYPE II (HIGH/CrO2), TYPE IV (METAL)
- ノンスリップ・リールドライブ機構 - non-slip reel drive keeps optimal tape tension
- カセットスタビライザー ＆ C.C.C.T. - ceramic-composite cassette stabiliser and ceramic-composite tray damp cassette shell vibration
- リニアタイムデジタルカウンター（メモリーストップ機構付） - linear-time digital counter on the FL display with an optical rotation sensor and memory stop
- 高速反転クイックリバースメカニズム - quick auto-reverse: an infrared sensor detects the leader and the tape reverses at speed, up to 5 continuous passes (DRR-780)
