WAV File Audio Messages 

The CNXTA audio messages are used for system prompts and responses. These files 
are recorded as WAV files on a PC using an audio utility such as Sound Recorder 
that is packaged with Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT™. Files from other sources may 
also be converted to a CNXTA acceptable format by using this or a similar utility. 
Many other audio utilities are available commercially or as shareware.  

NOTE:

  If the Sound Recorder program is not available on the PC, select

 Start | 

Help

 at the Windows taskbar. Click on the 

Index

 tab and type in 

Sound Recorder

For Windows 95/NT, double-click the 

installing

 entry. For Windows 95/98/NT, 

follow the directions provided to add the Sound Recorder program. (The Sound 
Recorder is part of the 

Multimedia

 component). 

This section contains descriptions of the Crestron pre-recorded files and procedures 
on how to use Sound Recorder to record, edit, and convert WAV file messages. For 
more information about how to use Sound Recorder, refer to its User’s Guide and 
extensive help information provided with the software.  

Downloadable WAV Files for the CNXTA 

Pre-recorded WAV files for the voice prompts and responses are available for the 
CNXTA. These files can be stored into and programmed for use in the CNXTA 
directly or may be edited with the Sound Recorder. A default message is 
programmed into the CNXTA and five ZIP directories of WAV files are available.  

NOTE:

  WAV files can be obtained from the Downloads page (WAVFILES 

Library) of Crestron’s website (

www.crestron.com)

. New users are required to 

register in order to obtain access to the FTP site.
