There really is no difference hardware wise. Idle means its not playing anything, and sleep means its not playing anything and is displaying the "sleep" screensaver. That's it. This means that the ONLY difference between idle and sleep is that idle displays the idle screensaver and sleep displays the sleep screensaver. The Touch will automatically go into idle mode after a certain time, but I think you have to explicitly go into sleep mode.
There are menus items in the setup hierarchy that can be used to change the time to wait before going into idle mode. Idle and sleep mode DO you less power, but simply because they are not playing anything. There is no "Power down" mode that turns things off etc. John S. -- JohnSwenson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JohnSwenson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5974 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88526 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
