Message-ID: <1437@vax2.fluke.UUCP> Date: Thu, 4-Oct-84 11:30:11 EDT Article-I.D.: vax2.1437 Posted: Thu Oct 4 11:30:11 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 6-Oct-84 05:06:30 EDT Distribution: net Organization: John Fluke Mfg. Co., Everett, WA Lines: 23 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?
