How to Upload From a Mini Disc to a Computer From an Optical Line
A mini disc is a small, data device that is a combination of a floppy disk and CD. This format is not heavily used as MP3 players allow you to transport data without a disk. However, if you have information saved onto a mini disc, it is possible to upload the information to your computer using an RCA audio/video optical line.

Plug the RCA audio/video cables into the "Video Out" ports on the mini disk player (if the disk only holds audio, plug in just the red and white audio cables of the RCA connection).
