Silent Hill: Townfall Guide | How to Use the CRTV

The CRTV is one of the most important tools in Silent Hill: Townfall. It can detect nearby enemies, reveal story broadcasts, and provide clues that help you solve puzzles.

How to Use the CRTV

Hold L1 to raise the CRTV while exploring. You can then tune through different frequencies to find signals.

When you find an enemy signal, the CRTV can show the creature's position through walls, fog, and other obstacles. This makes it useful for checking an area before moving forward or deciding whether to sneak past an enemy.

The CRTV also receives broadcasts containing story information and puzzle clues. Some signals can reveal information you need to understand or solve nearby puzzles, so it is worth checking the device whenever you enter a new area.

How to Tune the CRTV

Move through the frequencies until you detect a signal. On PS5, you can use motion controls to tilt the controller while tuning the CRTV physically.

Some signals require additional calibration. When you interact with certain radios, adjust the CRTV's angle until the image stops moving, then align the RGB color channels using the directional controls. Once the colors are aligned, you can save the broadcast.

Using the CRTV Against Enemies

The CRTV is especially useful when you are trying to avoid combat. Tune to an appropriate signal to locate nearby enemies, then use the information to find a safe route around them.

You can also raise the CRTV while moving, allowing you to check for threats without completely losing sight of your surroundings.

Use the CRTV regularly when entering unfamiliar areas, as it can reveal enemies, story information, and puzzle clues.

Final Thoughts

The CRTV is more than a replacement for Silent Hill's traditional radio. It combines enemy detection, exploration, story discovery, and puzzle solving into one tool. Make a habit of checking new frequencies whenever you reach a new area.
