  The JVC S-VHS ET machine will do what you want.You can run a coax, composite,or S-video connection in to an S-Video out.You will only get true S-video quality if you run S-video in.The coax and composite in and S-video out will still show quite an improvement.Hopefully this will help.--Scott

• Philips SVHS vcr on clearance at onecall - bilbobaggins 10:52:57 03/05/02 (2)

  is a pretty good SVHS vcr for $110 + shipping. I just bought it for the SVHS-ET feature. It also has a fast rewind and fast forward. I also have a Panasonic 7560 SVHS vcr which is several years old and has much better picture quality. However, for the price and the taping I do, its definitely worth it.

  On the S-video connection question, using the s-video connection is superior to composite. I find the blacks are much better with s-video even using a cheapie cable than compared to a good 75 ohm composite cable.

• ALL S-VHS VCRs have S-Video outputs and no VHS do - John C. - Aussie 16:14:17 03/04/02 (3)

  Ordinary VHS recorders operate in composite mode only.

  S-video output is useless unless you are playing an S-VHS recorded tape on an S-VHS recorder. Note that S-VHS recorders also can record on standard VHS tapes BUT the output can only be composite.

  So, unless you have s-VHS recorded tapes, or intend to make them, forget about s-video from VCRs.

  We use S-VHS recorders to make recordings on higher quality standard tapes and get excellent results as these recorders contain more sophisticated video circuitry. But the output is only composite.

    No matter what your source is (Standard or S-VHS) it outputs via the S-Video hook-up...and does a pretty nice job at that!

      Now I presume your JVC recorder is an S-VHS, right?

      Ok, if you play an S-VHS recorded tape you will get true s-video (split) output. But if you play a standard VHS tape, it is still only a composite signal coming out of those S-video sockets. It just cannot be anything else!!!

  Perhaps there are now some cheap S-VHS models that lack them, but most S-VHS players used to have S-Video inputs and outputs.

  JVC uses S_Video for in and out.... that is all i use.... it output any video from S-Video... from VHS or S-VHS....

  VCRs are the only thing i would recommend from JVC, everything else i have bought from them is JUNK!
