It’s been a while since I used my iPod Video/Classic, but I think I remember being able to turn them off by holding the Play button on the dial for three to five seconds. Maybe that was just the hard reset; I don’t remember.

Holding the play button puts it to sleep. Holding the center button and menu is the hard reset. There's no way to shut them down.
