This jack is normally
used for connection to the output of portable
audio devices, video game consoles or other
products that have a coax digital jack. It may also
be configured as an output jack, to feed a digital
signal to a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digital record-
ing device. (See page 21 for information on con-
figuring the Digital Coax 3 Jack to an output.)
