The analog terminal unit is placed in the plastic housing and located in the insertion opening. The digital receiver is disposed at a rear end of the insertion opening of the plastic housing. Analog signals are transmitted when inserting an analog signal plug into the insertion opening of the plastic housing. Digital signals using optical signals are transmitted when inserting a digital signal plug. The same plastic housing is able to function as an audio connector socket for transmitting analog or digital signals.
