Hello again, OK I have an update. My NEW Zune HD32 would not stay off no matter what I did when it was new. The power off screen would not show up either (as stated in the first reply above) NOW, after syncing for the first time, all of the functions do work OK (including the power off function) Lesson: let your NEW Zune stay on if it wants to. After the first sync, everything will work fine. Note: from my perspective, the Zune is a real patience tester! Have fun!

Hello, The ONLY way I am able to turn off my Zune HD manually, is if I hold down the power button until it reboots (no POWER OFF ever shows up) and then wait until the colored bar starts up from the bottom. As it is booting, I then press the power button again and it shuts off . By the way, mine is brand new out of the box just today. It is rather frustrating that the very first thing I try to do (shut it off) is not possible. Not on Zune’s site (how to turn off) what was there and other posts I read, didn’t work for me. I hope this info helps!
