MustAVit have just received an iPod dock that will change how you listen to music and enjoy your media!
Image of Tekkeon NavDock
The dock from Tekkeon supported by Opus Technologies is compatible with all iPods (excluding iPhone) It features on-screen navigation for your TV. The device connects to your TV via a supplied 6 foot AV cable and provides on-TV navigation menus for selecting and playing songs, videos and viewing pictures that are stored on the iPod.
This is all done using the 16 button remote control to adjust or mute volume, shuffle, repeat or skip songs and fast forward or rewind through music or videos. The remote offers a five way navigation pad and quick keys that jump directly to the videos, photos, and music or settings menus.
With the Tekkeon Navdock, the user has complete control. You can change the language, the menu colour scheme to fit your mood, or the navigation speed to fit your taste. You can even access the equalizer or display the lyrics or album art that appears next to your songs in the Now Playing screen in motion as your personalised screensaver.
Setup of the device is very easy and painless, so is worth the money that you spend on the product. Not only does it give you a full media centre with full on-screen navigation, but you can have one for under £150, compared to a dedicated Home Media Centre, this is a Bargain!!
If you wish to discuss this product in more detail, then please do not hesitate to give me a call on 01582 839213. Alternatively, send me an email on info@mustavit.co.uk
MustAVit have had a look around and have decided to add some products that will be awesome for the summer sun or the summer project for your home.
Image of Soundware XS Satellite Speakers
First up it’s the very popular Boston Acoustics Soundware XS speakers. We have seen the 5.1 system on the website and have added the satellite speakers, either to give you discreet Hi Fi speakers or to add another pair to your surround sound system to give you 7.1. These are only available in Black or White but you will no doubt be able to find somewhere to fit these into your setups. Click on the picture and see if you can find anything you can use them for.

The next group of products are again from Boston Acoustics. They are a selection of CD/Radios, iPod docks/Alarm Clocks, so you can wake up to the summer sounds to set you off into the day in a good mood. The systems we have added produce a big sound, which you could mistake for a dedicated Hi Fi System. Desktop Audio products have become ever popular over recent times so I’m sure these products will fit into many homes very nicely.
Home Automation is so appealing but is out of reach in terms of cost for many people, but now, you don’t even have to think about it taking a huge chunk from your budget to get the automated home you desire.
Image of Ebode Electronics Modules
Ebode electronics have released a selection of products that can allow you to control your exterior and interior lighting, your blinds, curtains and awnings all with the click of a button on a remote control. The system is made up of modules which replace the light switches and other switches that control the items listed above. To be able to control table lamps or appliances, there are plug in modules that you plug into and use the remote control to control those pieces of equipment. Have a look at the information sheets that we have put on the website. If you have any questions then please call us on the details below and we will be more than happy to help.
In fact, if you have any questions about any of the products introduced in this post, then please do not hesitate to give us a call on 0800 011 2246, alternatively email us on info@mustavit.co.uk

The Winner of the Sonos Zoneplayer was Jonathan Harris Cowley. Here he is pictured with his new toy!

Jonathan purchased from MustAVit because they were found easily online when searching specifically for his product.

This just proves MustAVit’s desire to be the best point of call for anyones Smart Home needs, to be found wherever there is talk of Smart Home and to give unrivalled support to every customer.

The team at MustAVit look forward to hearing from you.
We have had many customers who are renovating their homes and in need of speakers for the whole house, therefore buying in bulk.
MustAVit have done some searching and have found a bundle from Current Audio that supplies you with 5 pairs of 6.5” in ceiling speakers and a single stereo in ceiling speaker. This will give you six rooms of discreet sound for your multi-room set or for single room set ups.
The Current Audio CS650 is an easy to install full range in ceiling speaker. The combination of the tweeter and multiplex woofer provides superior and more natural sound for both foreground and background applications. The infinite baffle makes this speaker the ideal choice for open beam or enclosed applications.
Both speakers have a white paintable grille so you can match it with any décor. Enhancing the discreet design of these speakers. They are specially made to work in tandem with the stereo speaker (CS650DT) so you get a consistency throughout your home with the same timbre.
The first bundle includes five pairs of CS650 and a single CS650DT as stated earlier and if you were going to buy all these speakers at the retail prices individually it would cost you £1609.75 inc VAT but with this bundle you make a saving of nearly £100.
With the second bundle which includes the more powerful Current Audio, the CS654of which you get five pairs and a single CS650DT stereo speaker. With this bundle you would normally pay £3078.50, now you only have to £2579.13, this gives you a saving of £499.37, you are in effect getting a pair of speakers free in both bundles.
So have a look at these bundles and why not consider kitting your home out with quality speakers from Current Audio at a reduced price.
If you have any questions regarding these bundles then please give me a call on the number below, or send me an email on the address below.

Burger King uses ‘musical shower’ as latest trick to entice Japanese clientele
A new Burger King eatery opening up in Japan isn’t usually something we concern ourselves too much with, but this one comes with an interesting new twist. Those umbrella-aping translucent cones hanging over the tables are known as “musical showers,” and their function is to deliver music in an isolated fashion to you and your significant — but not too significant, it’s still BK, after all — other. All you’ll need to do is plug your portable media player into the provided receptacle and the tunes you know and love will literally shower down upon you. To be honest, if the audio chanelling is sufficiently precise not to disturb nearby punters, we’re loving this idea. Now just give it a name that won’t make teenagers giggle and bring it westwards.
I just thought I would let everyone know about some fantastic bundles and new products that we have put onto the MustAVit site, from Home Cinema Projector Screens and Multiroom Audio Systems down to our MustAVit branded 1.4 HDMI Cables (High Speed and Ethernet Cable)
Sapphire Fixed Projection Screen
The first group of products to be introduced are the Sapphire Projector Screens. Sapphire has been manufacturing quality AV Equipment, in particular, projection screens since 1999. They make quality reliable products that you can count on. One of our sister company engineers installed a 1.8m Fixed Screen from Sapphire and couldn’t stop praising how easy it was to install, he had it up within the hour and it was the first “Sapphire” Screen he had installed. This will obviously became easier with the amount you install. Whether you need electric screens or fixed projection screens, we have what you need at prices you can afford. Take a look at the screens we have chosen for the site and the fantastic prices you can get them for.
Roth Audio CHARLiE
Another set of new products are from Roth Audio and the CHARLiE desktop music system. Roth’s CHARLiE desktop system takes music that is stored on things such as – Macs, PCs, Laptops, TVs, iPhones and iPods/iPads and make them sound very big! There are two systems available in two colours. The first is a 2.0 system with a Roth Dock which is ideal for a kitchen work top and you have the 2.1 system with a Roth Dock and a subwoofer which you could even use as your main music system in the lounge for example. Again take a look at the products here to see how it would fit into your lifestyle.
Sonos One Room Bundle
We have also put together some Sonos bundles for Summer 2010. Both of the bundles include a CR200 Controller and a ZP120 Zoneplayer, one comes with a pair of Sonance HiFi Works outdoor speakers and the other with a pair of Roth Audio Oli1 Speakers for a single room setup, with these bundles you can have the start of a Multiroom Music System, because as is the case for every Sonos customer, you won’t be able to stop adding to your system, you’ll be finding room after room as to where you would like music.
Sonos Outdoor Bundle
Well that is it for today, have a look around at our new products/Bundles and give me a call or send me an email if you want to discuss anything.
Sonos has always been a favourite of mine, just for the ease of use that the system has. The original controllers were good, easy to use, you also didn’t have to worry about where you left the CR100 due to it being waterproof. The CR200 was/is a classy little number as well, but you cant help feel that now we have an iPhone app and soon to have an iPad app that the original controllers will be made redundant.
When the iPhone app was released, the ease of having your Sonos Controller in your pocket along with everything else that your iPhone offered was…I could say life changing but i won’t go that far…yet!!
The iPad app that is available in August will change once again, the way in which we use our Sonos systems, you obviously won’t be able to pop the iPad in your pocket but the ease of use is still there!
The main features of the iPad app and between that and the iPhone app, are that it has a new revamped layout using the whole 9.7 inch screen to show you every zone and whats being played as well the cover art in full screen mode. The neat part of the new app is the drag and drop feature where you can choose a song and drag it into a room of your choice and add it to the relevant queue.
When we see the app and try it for ourselves, I am pretty sure we will see the best Audio Remote for any music system out there, it will be even better now there is the Multi-tasking feature on the IOS4.0. Team it up with a Sonos S5 Zoneplayer and you will have a very impressive Home Audio System.
One thing i forgot to mention is that it is completely FREE, which is unbelieveable when you see what you are getting from the app.
Take a look at the Promotion Video below and see for yourself what we are raving about here at MustAVit!
During the money saving times that we live in nowadays there is the need for any products that will ultimately save you money.
Green-i Energy Saving Lighting Controls is one of those products. This is done by the ability to automatically switch off the lights when no-one is occupying the room after a certain time that is determined by the user.
It replaces your existing light switches so has been designed to be very easy to install and Green-i offers a host of configurable features to give users complete control over their lighting.
Another reason for purchasing the Green-i lighting controls, besides saving you money, is that it sets you on your way to having a automated lighting solution without the need for re wiring of lighting channels. You may only have a single channel in your lounge for example, but the Green-i has features that can totally change the feel of that room.
Green-i has the ability, as we said before, to turn lights on or off when a room is entered or vacated. Another feature of the lighting control is to set scenes for certain “living” situations such as, watching TV, reading books and entertaining. To add to the automated home vibe, you can control all these features from the comfort of your armchair as there is a IR remote control included, the basic functions of this remote could also be added to a universal remote control that you may already have controlling your AV equipment.
The current prices of the two units we supply are as follows:
Green-i Single Channel Energy Saving Lighting Dimmer WAS: £54.99 NOW ONLY £21.95
Green-i Double Channel Energy Saving Lighting Dimmer WAS £69.99 NOW ONLY £24.95
