The AC-3 output from a laserdisc player is an RF modulated signal that needs a surround receiver/processor with an RF input to work. It's not the same type of signal as S/PDIF signal over optical or coax.

If your surround receiver/processor doesn't have an RF input, perhaps you can use the laserdisc player's coax/optical output (if it has a digital connection) to get a stereo digital signal to the receiver. The surround receiver/processor can then "create" a surround output if that's what you want. Otherwise, you'll have to use the analog output from the laserdisc player.

There may possibly be an RF adapter you could use as a go-between if your surround receiver/processor doesn't have an RF input.
