Not a bad idea if one doesn't mind the extra cable, powering and
button fuss. My Hi-MD models will stay in record pause indefinitely
with the line output operational.  Eric Benjamin reported that he was
testing the noise level of the H2's line input. Perhaps that test is
available. One would think the line inputs on all of the recorders
would be pretty quiet, but surprises are not uncommon. Could be some
headroom limitations. If you try this approach, do get back with your
discoveries. Rob D.
