Because the OP mentioned, the "Instand Replay" would be
good if one did not understand what was said.

ACK.
I have such an analog(!) VCR and found it VERY convinient to
"fast forward with sound" without having to watch all the time!
VDR "skip 1 minute" is not a real replacement of that, because
i often miss the right point where to continue.
As the "FF speed with sound" was selectabel it was possible
to "slow fast forward" over uninteressting parts of a discussion or
a report. Watching a movie this way would be waste of time, dacore.
It was 'simply' implemented by dropping/duplicateing(*) "frames"
("probes" or "samples"), in sound too. So the tune (sound frequency)
was not effected (in limits)!
Sometimes an entire word was dropped, but i assume in digital world
it would be possible to drop smaler samples and to do that if sound level
is low, adding sone "error corrections"/interpolation.
(*) Of cause it was possible to have "slow motion with sound".
Very convienient to learn foreign languages, ideally if the sound
could be kept lipp sync (the analog device couldn't).
