The JVC HR-S8000U Super VHS VCR is a vintage video cassette player designed to playback S-VHS tapes. With four heads, this unit from JVC is known for its high-quality performance in terms of video playback and recording capabilities. This VCR is a reliable option for those looking to enjoy their S-VHS tape collection or for collectors of vintage audio and video equipment. Its compact unit type makes it a great addition to any home entertainment setup. It has life but needs attention. It fasr forwards and rewinds. When play is engaged it shuts down. Repair is 80.00. I am discounting it with that in mind.
