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...
