S-VHS will record widescreen video as long as it is standard definition. VHS does not support high definition at all. A feed from a source on either a composite or S-video connection will be recorded whether it is 16 : 9 or 4 : 3 format.
In Europe, widescreen format has been used in standard definition broadcasts for almost 20 years. Many VHS recorders in Europe can also capture an indicator within the signal to show that it is in a widescreen format (known as WSS for wide screen signalling). The recorder will then pass the signal to the television on playback enabling the television to adjust the screen format automatically.
However, in North America, widescreen has not been introduced for standard definition signals. VHS recorders often will not handle the WSS so if a widescreen format is played back, the screen format may need to be adjusted manually. Some experimentation may be needed to get the image format right.
