What exactly does the PMPO figure that many Japanese audio equipment
manufacturers use to advertise their products ?

I believe it expands to Peak Music Power Output.

How is PMPO  related to the RMS value of the power output ?

My new AIWA set is supposed to be a 400 W PMPO system. Does that
mean it can deliver 400 Watts of power ? I find that hard to 
believe.
