and FAT32 formats are supported, with the following

For more information, including requirements for
external USB storage media and details on connecting

on page 39.
CD-R/RW (Internal and USB)
The OASYS can read and write UDF format CD-R/RW
disks. For more information, see “CD-R/RW disks on
the OASYS: UDF and packet-writing” on page 1033 of

The OASYS can also play and record audio CDs (CD-
DA), and read ISO9660 (level 1) CDs.
Operations that the OASYS can perform on media
Functions available with all media
• Saving and Loading files (Disk mode)

For details on OASYS file types, please see “Files,
directories, and icons” on page 691 of the

supported for USB media.
• Utility operations (Disk mode)
You can copy or format media.

which allows you to write repeatedly to the same
