Hiya Paul -
On my Sharp MD-MS722, you can listen to whatever is coming through the
LINE/OPTICAL or MIC in as soon as you hit the REC button. The player itself
can power a mic, or accept LINE and digital optical. To take it over to PC,
you could either use an analog cable or get an MD component deck and use the
optical out, provided your sound card supports it.

> Will many other mics connect to the unit?
