While examining my handbook to my Sony SL-2710 video dream machine, I noticed that there is a section on recording with PCM options. Now, one thing... they never explain what a PCM is! Guess I'm just ignorant... This seems to be seperate from captions... there is a special decoder input for this. In the diagrams I perused, there is a video & audio in for PCM, a switch on your input selection for PCM/AUDIO LINE, and a switch on the back for either PCM or captions. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!! PS Is there still no one out there who has a Sony Betastack and wants to share opinions of it? That would also be a great help to me... "Nun-beating?

PCM stands for "pulse code modulation", in other words, digital recording. I don't know why it would require a different input, though. Normally, PCM adaptors produce an NTSC compatible video signal which is used as a recorder's video input. -- /Steve Dyer {decvax,linus,ima,ihnp4}!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca.ARPA

[.] The recorder's "normal input" is from the TV tuner built in, hence the need for a switch to an alternate (video or PCM) input. Dick Grantges hound!rfg
