By the way, I sort of glossed over this, but I shouldn't have.

In short, no. S-VHS tape players introduced the S-video, or Y/C interface jack. 
So that luminance and chrominance were separated. It was actually the first 
component analog interface, where the two color components were sent over the 
same wires.

That's why prerecorded S-VHS tapes were pretty spectacular, compared with what 
we had to suffer through in those days.

The reason I had one was mostly to record OTA NTSC without losing any 
significant image quality. With previous VHS, including HQ, recording analog TV 
was a real disappointment. It was not easy to get pre-recorded S-VHS at rental 
stores, unfortunately.
