Using a USB CD-R/RW drive, the KRONOS can read and

see “CD-R/RW disks on the KRONOS: UDF and packet-
writing” on page 1156 of the Parameter Guide.

DVD disks.
Operations that the KRONOS can perform on media

Guide. Loading or saving divided files is supported for
USB media.

You can copy or format media.
