yes, a clever workaround, but it doesn't work with all units: I've got a 
Sony MZ-R909, whose Synch mode is active only with digital input from a CD 
player and anyway switches automatically the recorder off after 5 minutes 
of silence :-(

Anyway, a recorder with a Synch mode such as yours (instead of a timer) and 
the other three features I need would be perfectly acceptable for me!

I studied the www.minidisc.org site, but it doesn't list all the features 
of all the units and therefore I couldn't find the MD recorder of my 
dreams: that's why I'm asking for help from others in the know.

Thank you anyway, it's already a step beyond!
