OK here we go, first I connect the zoom hd16 with a USB cable to the PC then I`ll take an optical cable from the digit out of the zoom hd16 and connected to the digit In of the PC, the idea is if there`s going to be a flow so to record on the PC`s DAW (cubase etc,etc)so to use the PC`s hard drive instead the zoom`s

Well I did it it works like a line in but better!! You don`t even need to use the USB cable just place the optical cable Out in the zoom In in the PC and here you go there is a connection you have a stereo in put(2 tracks in) so you could use the zoom hd16 as audio interface ALSO!!!!!! When I have more time I`ll come back to it with more info.
