The knobs on both the VCR & the remote are the Jog Shuttle.This JVC VCR was top of line in the late 1990’s. It was the model JVC HR 710U. The feature you probably heard of was the Family message center. The FMC let you display messages to your family on your TV screen. This was supposed to make them more noticeable than a hand written note. But it sure was a lot more trouble than using pencil, paper & a bit of tape. When there was a message for a family member, the VCR display would blink to alert them. Then you would turn on the TV and there would be your message! There were 9-pre-programmed phrases. These could be edited, making it easier than having to type the whole message from scratch. You edited the messages or credit new ones with a virtual keyboard. So to leave a message, “I’ll be home late” would most likely make you late leaving too! More useful features on this VCR included VCR Plus+ with "Cable Eye" Cable Box Controller. Then there was the Shuttle Plus on Remote , plus the Jog/Shuttle on front of VCR. You could use this to do some crude editing, by be able to move the video almost frame by frame. And there was Insert Editing with Flying Erase Heads & audio dubbing. It also had front and rear S-Video Inputs, plus S-Video out on the back panel. I believe I paid about $600+ for this high tech (for its time) machine!
