Can the usb port be used as a digital/analog interface ? (i.e. Connect a laptop to the usb jack and output the laptop's audio through the unit's RCA jack) Or is it just for reading a usb thumb drive only ?

I don't know, but I'll try to find out. Ask me again next week since it's at my work and I don't know if I'll be able to check until after the weekend.

It only has midi input and headphone jack, so no USB or some other easier alternative. You will only be able to record audio from it

This will only work with a standard serial device. There is no connection for USB.

It really doesn't exist. It is not possible for an analog signal (RCA) to be converted to a digital signal (USB) inside a cable. You would either need a CONVERTER, a little box that would convert the signal, or you would need a special video card for the computer. I tried this cable in both configurations: RCA video into computer, and video out of computer to RCA TV, and BOTH did not work. Just look for a converter or something with good reviews and was meant to do the job. DON'T GET THIS! Hope this helps!

Only analog RCA, stereo of course. That is the point - asynchronous digital usb communication to a very high quality DAC to yield the best analog signal out as possible.

No, USB is also an input. Plug it into your laptop and it'll recognize this as a sound card and will be able to use it right away.

It does have a USB port, and I was able to see it on my laptop once, but the parent unit has to be connected to the laptop, plus the driver is very unreliable. After the one time it actually worked, I could never get it to show up again.

There is NO USB input on this amplifier. There are 2 analog RCA inputs. You would need a separate DAC unit to go between this and your source component.

Hello Freckles,Before answering your question I looked at the product and saw that you can purchase either analog or USB. You must click on which one you want to order. I purchased the USB for use on Windows 8 on my desktop and Windows 7 on my laptop. It works excellent and is really much better than I hoped for. I trust that I have helped you.Bobby Blue

Hi Jane, The USB option is really meant for computer-to-device communication. You could use the output jack, which is used for headphones for your car, and maybe buy an adapter for it.

Not being one to use that feature, I had to check for myself. And to confirm what has been answered previous, there's 2 audio out ports, 1 for analog audio, and the other for digital audio [optical].

In theory you can, i have 2 usb cards connected to my laptop, plus the internal one, and all of them work, so in theory it should work. The only problem i see, is how the computer would identify each one of the usb audio interfaces, and how the user (you) would know each interface. Another thing that can help is to use the ASIO4ALL audio driver, if you are using Windows. Hope this helps.

There is no USB port on the unit. So I would have to say no. Nothing in the manual either regarding that option.

Hello! It is USB and I don't think it connects directly into a normal amp. However it's output can be routed through one via your sound card.

Do you have to have a audio input plug to use this unit. Is there a way to connect via USB. Reason, I don't think my computer has a audio input slot, at least none that I can find on the back.

According to the manual (downloadable from Onkyo site), the USB port is for attaching media players (e.g. an iPod). The port works well for this purpose. It is not a general-purpose USB port.
