- This is an in-depth review and demo of the Sony SVO-2000 SVHS Player. It might possibly be the best VCR in the world. Please let me know what you think.

Looks like a nice set :)
This is clearly not the best VCR, the best VCR's are from JVC and number one are the Panasonic, the best of the best are the ones with TBC built-in
Was the Star Wars tape a SVHS? That would explain why there was no difference on the output between VHS and SVHS.
I found one of these at Goodwill for $50 in 2018. It is by far the best consumer VCR I have ever used.
Panasonic NV-V8000 is the best consumer editing S-VCR ever.
Built-in “head cleaner” is just a small tire shaped foam pad on a spindle, that goes over the 4-heads as the video drum rotates. Being well over 25yrs old (with unknown hours) it will definitely need a “wet” manual clean of the entire tape path -see YT videos. Avoid most video cleaner tapes.
It’s neat but vhs tapes were terrible quality
The rewind wheel is called a shuttle. Does that wheel turn into a jog. A jog lets you turn the wheel and go frame by frame for precise editing. I had a jvc hr-s6700u which was nice. This looks a little nicer. But I used mine for editing wedding videos in the mid 90's.
It looks good and is a pretty good machine for the average person that wants S-VHS and nothing more. From what I saw on the front, it doesn't seem to have any sort of Time Base Corrector or Digital Noise Reduction. For me and a good chunk of the video tape community the best VCRs are from the JVC HR-S range (consumer/prosumer) and their professional S-VHS range as well as some Panasonic models like the NV-HS950 or HS1000. Personally I use a JVC HM-DR10000EU VCR at home because I love how it looks and it has all the features I need as well as amazing picture quality - and I picked it up for cheap! It doesn't have any SM capacitors unlike this model and the Panasonics I mentioned earlier that cause issues. It also has the option to record in D-VHS (not D-Theater though so no HD and it doesn't have any digital outputs) and while I prefer to record S-VHS for the nostalgia recording in digital on VHS is always fun. Otherwise, the recorded S-VHS video is pretty much identical to the S-Video input save for some color leakage in high contrast areas but that's a quirk of VHS that can't be eliminated.
Great machine! But I'd advise you to get rid of that automatic head cleaner. It does more damage than good, especially after so much time. Check it out for yourself - it spoils the drum and heads with gluey residue.
Great video detailing a cool vcr! Thank you
About 14 years ago I ended up with "For Commercial Use Only" Panasonic AG-1970 and AG-1980 S-VHS VCRs from a thrift store. They also had magnetic control panels with a lot going on. There were also racks of AV equipment I didn't recognize in the thrift store so you could tell it all came from some studio or production setup that got donated all at once. I was on vacation across the country and couldn't fit much more than those two VCRs in my luggage, so I someone else got all the more exotic stuff. Anyway, these decks are incredible and also have an advanced 3D comb filter like your Sony. The comb filter isn't so much for reducing noise/interference as it is for removing composite artifacts when breaking it back down to Y/C or RGB (dot crawl and such). Faroudija makes the digital scaling hardware in a lot of high-end TVs and AV receivers so I have to assume the Sony has digital processing in some way.
Really enjoying your channel .
Damn that is an amazing VCR!
Nice long video Steve. It would have been cool if you could compare the picture difference between consumer and commercial VCRs.. cool vid either way!
S-VHS came out in 1987, which was not nearly near the end of the format. I was there back in 1987 when it came out, so yes, I'm that old 😁
