Abstract

A system having a machine having the function of reproducing an information recording medium, in which the system executes a program recorded on the recording medium by sending a machine actuating command signal to the machine by user actuation and by receiving signals from the machine. The system includes a main body portion of a machine, and a control unit for controlling the machine connected to the main body portion of the machine. The control unit has a housing, a plurality of control sections mounted on the housing actuated by the user with fingers, and a vibration motor mounted via a vibration motor mounting portion provided in the housing. The vibration motor includes a motor casing, a shaft rotatably supported by the motor casing, and an eccentric member mounted on the shaft. The eccentric member has a rotor and a plurality of coils mounted on the rotor which is mounted on the shaft. The vibration motor also includes a magnet mounted on the casing for facing the eccentric member, and a supplying member for supplying the driving current to each coil. The eccentric member is rotated when the driving current is supplied to each coil to cause vibrations of the vibration motor itself, with the vibrations being supplied via the housing to the user. This permits the vibrations to be felt by the user to make possible execution of the program excellent in simulated presence feeling.
