Hardware

S-VHS VCRs and cassette tapes are nearly identical in appearance and operation but backward compatible with VHS tapes and recordings. Older VHS VCRs cannot playback S-VHS recordings at all but can record to an S-VHS tape in the VHS format. Many newer VHS VCRs offer a feature called S-VHS quasi-playback or "Super Quasi-Play Back"; (SQPB). SQPB allows VHS players to view (but not record) S-VHS recordings, though reduced to VHS-quality. This feature is useful for viewing S-VHS-C camcorder tapes.

Later model S-VHS VCRs offer a recording option called S-VHS ET. S-VHS ET is a further modification of the VHS standards to permit near S-VHS quality recordings on the more common and inexpensive VHS tapes. The S-VHS ET recordings can be viewed in most VHS SQPB VCRs and S-VHS VCRs.

To get the most benefit from S-VHS, a direct video connection to the monitor or TV is required, ideally via an S-Video connection.
