As others have said there are buttons for skip back 8 seconds and jump forward 30 seconds as well as a slow motion button so you can play director when watching sports
Actually IMHO I think they need to rework some of the these controls.

Firstly I don't think the skip back is long enough, should be more like 10-15sec.

Second, when you rewind at the 3rd (fastest) speed, it should not then jump forward again when you go into play. It is a nice feature that it jumps backwards when coming out of fast forwarding, but when you are rewinding it shouldn't jump forward. I often find I'm "too quick" hitting play and then it jumps back in front of where I wanted to be. Much better that it simply starts playing from the instant I hit play.
