Talk: VHS

Comment: Regarding the meaning of the acronym VHS, the current article lists Video Home System and cites 3 sources for this. However, the original meaning comes from the technical method, partially identified in the Reading and Writing Mechanism in the summary frame. This technical meaning reflects the method used to transfer the video and audio signal to and from the tape from the recording/playback head during recording and playback, depending on the user selection. Since the method JVC chose to transfer the signal uses an upward, spiraling motion as the tape glides across the head, the term VERTICAL HELICAL (or HELIX) SCAN was coined. This is the original meaning of VHS. ````
