I have a 2nd gen AppleTV unit. I would like to know if there is a way to use the AppleTV remote to put the unit to sleep (e.g. hold a key down)? Currently, the only way I know to do this is to traverse the menus back out to Settings, and then select Sleep Now.

Best Answer
Hold down the main centre button. Should put it to sleep after a couple of seconds.
Hit it again to wake it up.
