Now that I read the other posts:
What about using the H2 as a transfer deck. Going from a Sony TC-D5M to the H2 in order to upload the SD card into CD wave, audacity... to edit and burn the discs of old shows. Is the line in going to provide noise in that situation? That is the reason it was bought for me.
I'm currently doing my transfers with a R-09, but will have to return it soon.
