The first four channels of MAIN outputs (those connected to the default Analog outputs) get their signals from DSP B channels 1 to 4.
The second four channels of Main out (those connected to the default Digital outputs) get their signals from DSP B channels 5 to 8.
The ADAT outputs are directly connected to AES inputs 11 to 18.
AES outputs 11 to 17 are fed from the ADAT inputs.
FireWire1 outputs are not connected.
FireWire2 outputs are fed from Main out.
Further Input and Output options
There are a number of alternative inputs and outputs, which may take the place of the normal ones. For example, all members of the H8000 family have an S/P DIF input on an RCA connector that may be used in place of AES/EBU 1&2. These options may be controlled from the Input/Output Options page under inputs on the SETUP menu. Just hit the inputs soft key until you get there.
The screen below is for the H8000FW but a similar page appears on all members of the family.

DIN 1/2 Allows the Selection of Either AES/EBU or S/P DIF for the First Digital Input Pair.
When set to AES/EBU the first 2 default digital inputs are AES/EBU and the S/P DIF inputs are not used.

OPTO in – controls the function of the optical input connector (H8000FW only)
The optical input connector on the rear panel is normally used for ADAT. It may alternatively be used to send an optical S/P DIF input, called OPTO 1/2 in place of one pair of AES11-18.
Doing this will disable both the ADAT input block (since there is nowhere to plug the ADAT cable) and the AES signals for the chosen pair (since it is being used for OPTO 1/2).
Note also that this control supersedes the DIN 11/12 control, so that if OPTO in is set to AES 11/12, DIN 11/12 has no function and will be disabled. This is because if AES11/12 is being used for OPTO, it cannot be used for either AES or S/P DIF.

When OPTO in is not set to ADAT, the optical input connector is used for OPTO 1/2 (optical S/P DIF) input, and the selected AES inputs are replaced by it and thus not available.
All ADAT inputs are, of course, disabled.

The optical output connector is normally used for ADAT. It may optionally be used to supply one pair of AES 11-18 as an optical S/P DIF output. In this case all the ADAT outputs are unavailable (ADAT connector unavailable). The selected AES output pair is still available.

ADAT out cannot be used.
