[Note: I posted this a few weeks ago but to the wrong topic section. It covers reset and shutdown.]

Sleep,
Standby, and
On. The following fully explains each and how to exit and enter each mode.
When it arrives it will be in SLEEP mode:
By pressing the play button it goes
ON.

SLEEP mode you will see the <leo_highlight style="border-bottom: 3px solid rgb(245, 245, 0); background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; display: inline; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" id="leoHighlights_Underline_2" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_2')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underline_2')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underline_2')" leohighlights_keywords="zune" leohighlights_url="http%3A//8080.kondra.com%3A8080/leonardo/highlights/keywords?keywords%3Dzune">Zune</leo_highlight> Logo and a progress line below it that advances to the right as it boots up. Microsoft says it will go from
SLEEP mode to
ON in less than 15 seconds. It appears to take half that time. Microsoft uses the term
SLEEP mode which means fully powered
OFF. Moving the slide switch from Lock to Unlock, connecting, or docking puts Zune into
ON mode. Plugging in earphones only turns it
ON if in
STANDBY mode.
To enter SLEEP mode either: - Do not touch Zune for 24 hours and it will automatically enter SLEEP mode (Microsoft recommends this method); OR
- Hold Back button while holding Down button for 3 seconds. (Which works regardless of the lock switch position interestingly enough).
This
REALLY turns the Zune OFF.
NOTE: A Zune
reset puts it in
SLEEP mode then automatically turns it back
ON. Like a non-destructive reboot.
To reset: Hold Back button while holding Up button for 3 seconds.
When in ON mode:
By holding the play button for three seconds you put the player in
STANDBY mode (NOT
SLEEP mode!). THE "START GUIDE" IS WRONG OR MISLEADING AT BEST. See above to enter SLEEP mode.
When in STANDBY mode:
Pressing any button, plugging in earphones, or unlocking puts the Zune into
ON mode. It takes about one second to go from
STANDBY mode to
ON mode.
I think it takes a lot more power to go from
SLEEP to
ON then
STANDBY to
ON. That may be why Microsoft recommends you let it go into
SLEEP mode automatically in 24 hours.
If you are having problems with Zune turning
ON by itself (as some have posted they have), I suggest put the Zune to
SLEEP then set to LOCK.
