Bossk, a S-VCR is a format JVC released in the 80s. Due to lack of promotion, interest,and lack of pre-recorded software(I hear there was an Indiana Jones release for displays), it never achieved what would have been a simple task of replacing video. It has the same luma res as LD, but the chroma of VHS. Prices back it the 80s had them in the $1000s. Now you can get one for about a $100. Most come with SVHS-ET, which let's you use a regular tape(a feature I use often). The biggest benefit for me, however, is the S-Video out. A simple S-Video cord cleans up a VHS tape like you wouldn't believe. If you use your VCR often(assuming you're not like the jack@$$es) I've seen who claim to have long junked everything connect to video, an S-VCR is well worth it. Better yet, get a D-VCR if you have a HDTV(which records exactly what you feed it, line for line). Yes, I did mean DVD-Audio. A consequential purchase, dad often buys hardware without consulting me. I put him through hell finding a TV when we moved.
