Based on my experience you will not be successful if you take normal line output to the line in of the Zoom H2. The H2 line in is much too sensitive. The recording level using the front controls is post A/D, so if your source overloads the analog input and/or the A/D converter, the recording level control can only adjust how loud the horrible clipping noise is.
If you can get your feed from a headphone output or aux out that has a level control you'll be OK, but if the line out is at a fixed level you'll need an attenuator between the source and the H2.
You can get a lot of useful nitty gritty details on using the H2 successfully in this thread:
