First, I'm pretty sure *no* Sony portable playback-only MD unit has ever had
a separate line-out.
Second, there are Y-adaptors for 3.5mm stereo connections. I have several

Radio Shack or even Best Buy and Circuit City,

Ah - I get it ... but why not just plug your headphone jack into the jack
socket in the remote instead of the jack socket on the unit?
Anyway - if you wanted to do this, you would need some kind of extension
adapter for the signal plugs on the remote. You could make your own but as

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

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).

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