VHS and SVHS

Very thx for all your explanations. Can you advise me some good S-VHS Deck ? Again thx.

Not really, since mine is an older model and it was a while back I researched this. The main brands on the cheaper side seem to be Panasonic and JVC (you can get very expensive pro models, but I guess that is not your aim). The cheapest model JVC's are reputed to have very lightweightt mechanics that break down easily, but the models above that seem to be ok. No idea if this still is true. For JVC, the suite of extra digital filters and the like is called 'digipure'. Not all models have it. (again, the cheapest ones don't) A small word of warning: don't expect miracles. VHS tapes have limitations, and no amount of expensive electronics is going to correct that. Don't expect DVD quality to come out of such a deck. A good S-VHS deck will help to get that last bit of quality out of a tape, but if it is worth the extra money depends on how critical you are about those last small details. It is not that a good regular VCR will give complete crap results in comparison. The difference can be quite subtle and a lot of people probably won't notice it (or won't care). A lot of people get very good results with regular VCR's. So, if you can get a good deal for S-VHS, by all means go for it. I found mine to be a good investment. Just don't go overboard on the price before you are sure you are going to need one.

How much did you buy your ? If I can find a cheap one on eBay, it's possible I buy it. But how much do you think I don't have to go over ? Thx.

No brother, you helped me a lot and I thank you. :) I'll look around, thx.
