USB CD-R/RW and DVD
Using a USB CD-R/RW drive, the KRONOS can read and
write UDF format CD-R/RW disks. For more information,
see "CD-R/RW disks on the KRONOS: UDF and packet-
writing" on page 1156 of the Parameter Guide.
The KRONOS can also play and record audio CDs (CD-
DA), read ISO9660 (level 1) CDs, and read UDF format
DVD disks.
• Audio CD creation (Disk mode)
You can create audio CDs from WAVE files, using
either internal or USB CD-R/RW drives.
• Convert to ISO9660 Format (Disk mode)
The native KRONOS CD-R/RW format is UDF, which
allows you to write repeatedly to the same CD. UDF is a
standard format, but you can also convert such disks to
the more common (but less flexible) ISO9660 format.
Functions available only on the internal
disk(s)
• Audio recording and playback (Sequencer mode)
You can record and play back audio tracks.
• Audio track editing (Sequencer mode)
You can edit the WAVE files used by audio tracks.
