It's quite likely to be analogue audio; I've never seen a TV with
digital audio out, and it's even less likely with a portable set.

If it is digital out, it will be S/P DIF of whatever format the
broadcast is (usually 48k MP2 I think).

 On a similar note, what type of digital audio do my mini disc players 
 use?  I know that the recording format is a-track, but is the digital 
 audio sdif or something else?

Probably S/P DIF again. That's what mine is.

Don, that is a coaxial output. you may notice though, that the outside of 
the jack itself is raised higher on the rim than a regular RCA jack.


the other digital output probably is a Toshiba toslink jack. it usually has 
a square shape on the outside of it.


If you happen to plug into a video composite jack by mistake, you will get a 
hum in your amplifier from the video signal.

Thanks for answers.
