New TV With an Unknown Audio Out Jack?

I have an older Zvox tv base sound bar only has coaxial RCA & Toslink optical digital inputs. I would like to use it with a new 2023 TV however the TV only has an one that I think I can use. It is the one to the left, square with a star hole. Is that a Mini-Toslink output jack?

Are you sure that's not a dummy plug in there? Did you try to pull that piece out?

Seems to me you will need a standard toslink connector on one end and a mini on the other.  They aren’t very expensive and you may be able to find one locally or last resort order one online.  Also, the TV might possibly come with one or an adapter.

I found out from someone at the AV Forum that it is a newer version of a standard Toslink that allows insertion from 4 angles instead of just one as the old ones do giving more flexibility for different cable routes. Thanks all for your input on this!

It is toslink out to your ZVOX in. LG all have that option so to send to an outboard device.
