Yep... pretty typical paperwork included in many early AC-3 titles to explain what it is. It's both promotional and a means to educate.

I love stuff like this. Given how common discrete surround sound is today and how groundbreaking it was in the 90s it can almost be seen as a historical document.

At that time pretty much every publisher had their own sheet like this. Usually there are graphics. I’d say this one doesn’t do as good of a job of explaining the technology or selling it as others do.

Isn't true lies the first LD release with AC-3RF?
Could be wrong.

Almost, it's Clear and Present Danger (1994) [LV 32463-2WS].
