Search for stations that broadcast particular program types using the Search 
by Program Type buttons. 

• 

Search for stations that broadcast traffic information using the Search For 
Traffic Report buttons. The 

TA

 button searches for stations that broadcast 

special traffic announcements, the 

TP

 button searches for stations that 

regularly broadcast traffic information during the day, and the 

TA/TP

button searches for stations currently broadcasting traffic reports. 

• 

Search for the next station with a signal strong enough for good reception 
using the SEARCH 

+

 /

-

 buttons. 

• 

Scan (slow scan) all stations until you find a program you wish to select, 
using the Scan 

+

/

-

 buttons. In this type of search, the unit scans to the next 

viable station, pauses for about five seconds so you can determine if you wish 
to select the station, then scans to the next station, and so on. Scanning will 
continue until you press either button or until the beginning station is reached.

The 

Scanning or Searching

 indicator alerts you to scan or search functions, 

but does not indicate actual tuning functions via the keypad or the Tune 
buttons.

Setup is easy thanks to Crestron’s Windows



-based programming software. The 

Crestron SystemBuilder

™

 creates a complete project, with no special programming 

required. Crestron SystemBuilder completes all necessary programming for a base 
system including all touchpanel screens and the control system program. Once 
Crestron SystemBuilder creates the project, the system interfaces and program logic 
can be customized. It can easily be modified with Crestron development tools (i.e., 
SIMPL Windows and Crestron VisionTools

®

 Pro-e (VT Pro-e) software packages). 

The program output of Crestron SystemBuilder is a SIMPL Windows program with 
much of the functionality encapsulated in macros. Therefore, extending the 
capabilities of the system is very easy. Crestron SystemBuilder and SIMPL 
Windows are intended for users with different levels of programming knowledge. 
Crestron SystemBuilder is easier to use for the beginning programmer, and much 
faster for all programmers. However, it does not allow the degree of control and 
flexibility that SIMPL Windows does. Of course, one can initiate programming 
using the easiest method (Crestron SystemBuilder) and use advanced techniques that 
are available from SIMPL Windows to customize the job. 

Crestron SystemBuilder comes with templates for all supported interfaces. If a user 
wishes to create a touchpanel project using templates with a different look-and-feel, 
this can be accomplished by making a custom template. This custom template can 
then be used by Crestron SystemBuilder to create the final project files to be loaded 
into the panels. Alternatively, VT Pro-e can be used to tweak projects created with 
the Crestron SystemBuilder or develop original touchpanel screen designs.
