Yes, the much hyped high-end speaker from VAF is now available for sale at Amazon. It is one of the most expensive hi-fi home entertainment systems for zune.

Octavio 1 plays music and videos directly from a zune device and can also be connected to your TV, Xbox or DVD player via standard RCA AV cables.

Retailing at $499, it boasts an 8-inch bass driver, two 5.25-inches long linear travel woofers with high damping synthetic rubber roll surrounds and 2 fluid-damped fabric dome tweeters all in one.

Recently we put together a small video just to show the overall speed and quality with which the xbox 360 uses the zune to play all media.

But we definitely didn’t go through the steps on how to do it. In this post I’ll explain step by step on how to play and stream all media with and to xbox 360.

Play zune media with xbox 360:

• Connect one end of the sync cable to zune and other end to USB port on you xbox console.
• From the xbox dashboard, select Media, then select Music, Pictures, or Video.

Well want to start from scratch, delete all media files from your zune and don’t know how to do it. There are two ways 1) directly off zune or 2) using the zune software. I’ll discuss both.

Directly off zune:

• Set the Hold switch to unlocked.
• Press and hold the Back button at the same time as you press the top of the Control Pad.
• Immediately press and hold the Back button at the same time as you press the right side of the Control Pad and the OK button in the center of the Control Pad.
