Several people have posted that the same jack acts as a line-out under

On Sony portable recorders, you can adjust the manual gain level only during
record-pause. Also, when you stop recording (say, to change discs), they

I too have the Hoontech unit, but be warned it

Of course the MZ-2P, that wonderful exception to every rule, had

It can. But the unit will stay in Headphone mode, and this won't sound
nearly as good with an AirHead.

That won't work. Aside from the 3.5mm plug (stem), the remote has a
number of other connectors on either side of the 3.5mm stem. They
all go into the side of the unit and make contact at the same time
(I'm assuming that this is the case...it seems to be so on every MD
unit I've seen).

Strange indeed!
Basically, the remote connector has two parts, the 3.5mm plug and the remote
contacts. The only place the remote contacts can go is into the E900 directly
and the plug takes up the 3.5mm socket on the E900. He does *not* want to
