The big picture to understanding H8000FW routing possibilities and limitations:

Things to Know about Routing
When you are ready, see The Comprehensive Input / Output Scheme for more details. Until then …
• The effects engine (the DSP section) of the H8000FW has eight inputs and outputs
•Only 8 inputs can be connected to the effects engine
•Only 8 outputs can be connected from the effects engine
•The analog inputs can only be used as input channels 1-4 (7-8 on H8000)
•The analog outputs are always connected as output channels 1-4 (7-8 on H8000)
•The AES XLR inputs can only be used as input channels 5-8 (1-8 on H8000)
•The AES XLR outputs are always connected as output channels 5-8 (1-8 on H8000)
•S/P DIF 1/2 in can replace AES 1/2 in
•S/P DIF 1/2 out is driven with the same signal as AES 1/2 out
•ADAT out can be fed from the effects engine or from the ADAT inputs
•In addition, for the H8000FW
•S/P DIF 3/4 in can replace AES 11/12 in
•S/P DIF 3/4 out is driven with the same signal as AES 11/12 out
•ADAT1-8 out can be fed from the effects engine or from the ADAT, AES11-18 or
FireWire inputs
•AES11-18 out can be fed from the effects engine or from the ADAT, AES11-18 or
FireWire inputs
•FireWire outputs can be fed from the effects engine or from the ADAT or AES11-
18 inputs
•FireWire outputs can not be fed directly from FireWire inputs
