LPCM stereo is linear PCM stereo. In other words, uncompressed 2-channel =

audio similar to CD audio, except most likely at a different rate and a=20
different resolution. It could be 48KHz sampling, 24 bits resolution,=20
for instance.

SACD is not LPCM.

Linear PCM - it's an "earlier format", as used on CD.

The "LP" stands for lossless packing. Not sure about the CM. In practice,
it seems to signify some kinds of slightly high-res encoding that its
playable by ordinary DVD players...some of the first have DAD, some have
48/24, etc. Many have none...just 5.1 DD and/or DTS plus video. The video
is all over the lot as well. This side is totally at the discretion of the
provider. The CD side generally follows redbook, but the disk is thicker
than rebook and cannot be played on some machines...estimates have ranged
from 2% up to 10%. Many machine producers have consumer advisories out
saying in effect "we haven't tested it thoroughly yet and it may not
work....buyer beware".

Sony/BMG music is participating in this initial wave...but parent company
SONY is furious as they still stand solidly behind SACD. It will be
interesting to see how it plays out.

It's just stereo in a digital format. They call it LPCM for "Linear
Pulse Code Modulation". Basically it's what you get on a standard CD.

....as opposed to PPCM (packed pcm) the lossless compressed version by
Meridian, used on most DVD-Audio discs (though I have one that's LPCM)

That's what I get for writing late at night. The other guys are right, it
is Linear PCM. I was getting it confused with Meridian Lossless Packing
used on some DVD's. Sorry for the misinfo.

You can recorded in LPCM if you use the YAMAHA DVD recorder. It can only
reproduced on DVD machine only.

I do not understand to what you are responding. I can play either
side on some of my machines and have no need to copy them.
