VCRs all had wired remote controls at first, well after TVs commonly included IR remotes. The best one I remember was the Sony SL-5800 remote control. That VCR was the first to have freeze frame and slow motion without the big snow bar visible on all other models with those features. The slow motion was variable speed with a rotary or slide pot on the remote control, which also controlled play, fast forward/reverse scan, etc.
The first VCR to have an IR remote control was a Mitsubishi, model HS-300U in 1980.

I had an RCA VCR with an option for a wired remote, or an add on IR remote box receiver that clipped on the the side of the machine. VFT456 IIRC. Think I still have it, though it probably no longer works (bad belts?). It's in storage right now.

Last wired VHS VCR remote is an Orion...
Just for your reference, the last VHS VCR to use a wired remote was made by Orion in 1985, under the Emerson and TMK brands. They also used light-bulb sensor lamps inside the chassis.
