According to the service manual, the MDS-S707 is very similar to the MDS-S38. It is also a compact deck like the S38. Most likely the MDS-S707 was mostly sold with a system or as an optional addon to a system while being able to run independently.
One of the system(s) that were designed to use the MDS-S707 was the DHC-MD500. See the bottom of this page for more info and pictures of the unit.
