Patch Instructions

Does Pyro burn in Track-At-Once (TAO) or Disc-At-Once (DAO) mode?
Pyro burns audio CDs in Disk-At-Once (DAO) mode. This means that the drive burns the entire disc from start to finish, without turning the laser on and off between tracks as is done in Track-At-Once mode. Disk-At-Once discs will play in any audio CD player, including home stereos.
