That is an old way of referring to Dolby Digital. Laser Disc players needed an AC3 jack to be able to pass a DD signal.

Wasn't it like an RF jack or something?

Well the jack was on the back of the laserdisc player yes, but if you did not have a way to decode the stream you could purchase an outboard decoder.
