[. . . ] The optical audio input to the HD PVR can be in either a 2 channel stereo audio format or a 2 or 5. 1 channel AC-3 format. HD PVR recordings can be played back to the PC screen or can be converted "on the fly" to a Blu-ray format AVCHD file for burning onto a DVD disk. There are three types of record formats which can be selected: . TS: the native H. 264 format with 2 or 5. 1 channel audio.
