Abstract
An auxiliary device for an electronic apparatus which is connected to a portable electronic apparatus, such as a portable disc player to perform exchange of signals between it and the electronic apparatus, wherein the auxiliary device includes an attachment section, first and second detection mechanisms, an input/output section and a movement mechanism. The electronic apparatus is attached to the attachment section. The first and second detection mechanism are operated by the electronic apparatus attached to the attachment section. The holding mechanism holds the electronic apparatus attached to the attachment section. The holding mechanism holds the electronic apparatus when the first detection mechanism is operated by the electronic apparatus attached to the attachment section and then the second detection mechanism is operated by the electronic apparatus. The input/output section is connected to the connection terminal of the electronic apparatus held by the holding mechanism to perform exchange of signals. The movement mechanism causes the input/output section to move between a first position where it is connected to the connection terminal and a second position where it is separated from the connection terminal.
