I just picked up a JVC S3800 S-VHS. The sticker on top claims the it will record on S-VHS mode by using EHG VHS tapes.

That would be the S-VHS-ET mode JVC came up with to offset the cost and lesser availablilty of true S-VHS tapes. S-VHS-ET is somewhat de-tuned by pulling back the full video peaking of S-VHS and probably some other technical aspects I don't remember, and retaining the higher carrier frequency of the FM luminance video signal that gets recorded on the tape.
