It includes features such as high-speed search and frame advance, which allow users to edit and create their own compilations with precision. Additionally, the model is equipped with the "Jog Shuttle" control for precise frame-by-frame navigation, making it easier to find and cut specific moments when editing.

The build quality of the HR-S9900U deserves mention; it features a solid construction that provides durability and a professional feel. The user-friendly interface is complemented by a remote control, which adds convenience for managing playback and recording settings from a distance.

In terms of connectivity, the JVC HR-S9900U includes multiple input and output ports such as S-Video, Composite Video, and Audio outputs. This versatility allows users to connect to various display devices, ensuring compatibility with modern televisions and audio systems.
