Default Some very important key combinations

Cool key combinations

Press and hold the play button and it will put your zune into sleep mode.

Press and hold the back button and it will take you to the main menu no matter where you are.

Press and hold the back + down buttons and your zune will go into deep sleep mode (so you don't waste battery).

Press and hold the back + up buttons to reset your zune. (This is just like a rest button on xbox or ps2, it won't delete anything)


Key combinations you might want to avoid (For these you have to do it while the zune is starting up at the ZUNE screen)

Press and hold the back + center + left buttons and the zune will delete everything it has on it, as well as the firmware.

Press and hold the back + center + right buttons and the zune will delete everything on it except the firmware.

(You actually have to press the buttons on a zune4, zune8, or zune80 not touch)


These do work with the updated zune firmware
These also work with the zune4, zune8, and zune80


These only work on a zune4, zune8, and zune80

Press and hold the back + play buttons and it will delete everything on it.

Press and hold back + center + play buttons and it will delete everything on it, as well as the firmware.


Here are color coordinated button combo pictures, to sync to your zune,
just incase you ever forget.

Nice dude but if your going to use your Zune within a 24 hour period do not put it too sleep just shut it off. Putting it to sleep will kill the battery if you use your Zune within 5 hours.

Perhaps someone should make an image with this information on it so we don't need to look far in case we need them? Just an idea.

Is there a good newbie guide that kind of tells all the useful information for Zune?

those don't work unless your zune in in the middle of restarting/booting up. so they're fairly safe... and it doesn't mess anything up... it might even fix any problems you have.

so it's a good idea to remember this.

just know that you'll have to sync everything again.

Great thread. I always wanted to blow my zune away and start fresh. I am confused about the last post. What are you supposed to do if the battery isn't lasting as long as it should?
I would think the deep sleep function wouldn't impact battery life any more than pausing it. I don't think the bootup on the zune is sucking that much juice. Typically i hold the pause key for 3-4 seconds and it goes to sleep. Also, depending on how long I ignore it, my zune seems to enter total shutdown mode on its own.

That. And the reason why if you put it to sleep it automatically turns it off, after you put it to sleep if you don't use it within 10 min. it shuts off.

Looks good Twenty5. I especially like the highlighting. Anyway you could tweak the font so it's readable?
