I'm glad you read it, though! For other folks reading along (whether you own Kinoma Play or not), the Kinoma Play quick-start guide is at http://kinoma.com/support/manuals/play/.

Charles, if it says so in that manual that you linked to, then it is either unclear, poorly written or I'm a dumbf***, which is certainly possible.

In your manual, I only see instructions for using "soft keys" to return to the Kinoma home screen. According to every cell phone definition/glossary that I've ever read, soft keys are physical hardware buttons on a cell phone, usually located just below the LCD display. See, for example here:

If, on the other hand, your manual had said that pressing and holding down the on-screen half-loop arrow icon for several seconds would return you to the home screen (as Malatesta informed me upthread), then I would have tried that and there would have never have been an issue. Where in your manual does it say that you can use the on-screen icon that way? On what page? I will eat crow if I overlooked it, but otherwise your documentation writers, who are writing about a cell phone product, need to learn the difference between "soft keys" and icons.
