Mini-optical jack
This type of jack is commonly used for the digital audio input and output of portable audio devices. A mini-optical jack is the same shape and size as a standard analog audio minijack. This allows portable MiniDisc recorders to use a single input jack that accepts both mini-optical connectors and standard analog audio minijacks. The MD portable detects whether you're making a digital or an analog connection based on the type of cable you're using, and automatically selects the appropriate recording mode.
