Pulse-code modulation, abbreviated "PCM," is a form of digital signal that is used to represent analog data. PCM is the standard audio format for CDs, DVDs, computers and digital phone systems, and is an optional audio format on many televisions. Depending on the model of television you watch, switching the audio output to PCM may improve the sound quality of the television's speakers.
