It's tricky and has room for improvement. 2 or 3 times, instead of switching it off, I accidentally did a reboot. This did reset my viewing setting ("by Date Added" instead of "by Title"). After some days I've got the feel for it now. But it's not really intuitive, you actually have to "train" it.
- Briefly sliding off (maybe 0.5 seconds) = standby.
- Switching off for maybe 5 seconds = reset.
- Switching off for maybe 3 seconds = turn off.

EDIT: It can't be turned off yet. Only standby available yet. I've mistaken accidental resets from standby as restarting from turn-off.
