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.
