What are the differences between a VHS VCR and an S-VHS VCR?
S-VHS (also known as Super VHS) is superior to the standard VHS format because it offers significantly improved picture quality. All standard VHS VCRs produce 240 lines of horizontal picture resolution, whereas the S-VHS format produces 400 horizontal lines. To enjoy the full benefits of this format, an S-VHS VCR needs to connect to a television with S-Video input.
