As I'm going to record the 1997 SE AC3 soundtrack from my laserdisc trilogy, I noted that, on the analog channel a mono soundtrack is present.
There are so many discussion about OT soundtracks, but so few about 1997 SE... I wonder if it's only a mono version of the stereo/Dolby Surround track, or a proper *different* mono soundtrack, originally especially mixed for those theaters without surround systems - I feel not the case, as in 1997 there were few theaters without surround sound... well, if the latter is true, it will worth a preservation!
Another thing: soon I'll begin the audio processing of SET; does someone knows if the german, the english UK and the english FR laserdisc soundtracks pitches are correct?
