Applies to the reversible process achieved by the PCM
encoder/decoder system that transforms two audio signals into one
PCM signal for compatibility, with either 525 line/ 60 field
or 625 line/50 field television system. Establishes the signal
format for the PCM encoder decoder for reproducing audio signals in
PCM form on a consumer video cassette system. Ensures standardized
system operation compatibility of encoder/decoder systems and
interchangeability of recorder tapes with players and systems.
