Hi Jimmy,
I see three possible ways to do it:

1.) Digital
You get a digital stereo out on that fella, so I would route two tracks at a time panned hard left and hard right from the Yamaha to an audio interface that supports SPDIF (if you have one). You'll have to play them into the computer in real-time, re-recording them essentially, but it's all in the digital world so you will not lose quality.

2.) Analog
Failing that, or if you don't have the interface, you could take the analog stereo out and use the same method to record in (using the built-in soundcard will result in some quality loss).

3.) CD
Another option is to burn a mixed song to CD through the AW16C's CD-R and then use the "Import CD" command in CWHS. (Alternatively you could burn each track as a different song on the CD and then combine the tracks in CWHS). If CWHS doesn't have an Import CD command, you can rip tracks to a WAV file using one of myriad converters available freely online, including Winamp and audiograbber.

Hope that helps,
Reegs

If it is usb, you could connect so your computer reads the hard disk. You will want to open the song files and import the individual wave files to sonar. You will have all mono waves so you should have RE: piano left and right tracks.
Or, like reegs saya burn the songs individual wave tracks/files to disk and import from that. Thats how i get my files from other folks.
mono tracks then remix in the daw.
