S-VHS [[video cassette recorder]]s (VCRs) and cassette tapes are nearly identical in appearance and operation, and [[backward compatible]] with VHS. VHS VCRs cannot play back S-VHS recordings at all but can record onto an S-VHS tape in the basic VHS format.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio-visual/dvd-recorders/panasonic-dmr-ex99v-679559/review|title=Panasonic DMR-EX99V review|author=Martin Pipe|date=March 30, 2010|work=techradar}}</ref> Newer VHS VCRs, depending upon their specification, offered a feature called ''S-VHS quasi-playback'' or ''Super Quasi-Play Back'', abbreviated to SQPB. SQPB lets basic VHS players view (but not record) S-VHS recordings, though reduced to the lesser VHS quality. This feature is useful for viewing S-VHS [[camcorder]] recordings that use either the full-size S-VHS videotape cassette or the smaller [[VHS-C|S-VHS-C]] videotape cassette.

Later model S-VHS VCRs offered a recording option called [[#S-VHS ET|S-VHS ET]], which allowed SVHS VCRs to record on VHS tape. S-VHS ET is a further modification of the VHS standards that permitted near S-VHS quality recordings on more common and less expensive basic VHS tapes. S-VHS ET recordings can be viewed on most SQPB-equipped VHS 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]] connector and/or S-Video enabled [[SCART]].
