I am not at home, so I can't check at the moment, but the choice of
AAC/AC3 for PCM input is probably under the recording profiles.
It would be better to get the STB to pass-through Dolby Digital,
though. Having it downmix the AC3 to PCM, and then having the HD-PVR
turn it back into AC3 is likely to incur noticeable loss.
There has to be a way to set the SA3250HD to output dolby digital. A
little googling, and I see people talking about a "Digital Out" option
somewhere in it's settings.
