PCM is "good ol' basic" 2 channel stereo.
Same as on audio CDs.

Which is fine for any of the old matrix Dolby
surround settings(Surround, Surround-Pro-
Logic, or Pro-Logic-II). Yes, it is lossless,
but you have to select one of the lossy
codecs(X.1) in order to employ that discrete
mode of surround.

Addendum: Or DTS which is lossless!

No, PCM can be any number of channels.

You probably shouldn't pay too much attention to thekma. In general,
he really doesn't know what he's talking about.

Up to *8* channels of LPCM on Blu-Ray. Mandatory.
