I asked Jonah about this at KnobCon and he really helped clarify this for me. A/C refers to alternating current, so basically that switch lets you use “through zero” sources that alternate between positive and negative voltages. The way I like to think of it is that, with AC selected, you can “turn the knob” both left and right with your CV source, so long as that source is alternating.
