4. Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off
The Genius Mini Soundbar 100 powers on automatically when connected to a powered USB port. There is no separate power button. To turn off the soundbar, simply disconnect the USB power cable.
Volume Control
The soundbar features an in-line volume control knob located on the audio cable. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it. You can also adjust the volume directly from your connected device (computer, smartphone, etc.).
Audio Playback
Once connected, the soundbar will function as the audio output device for your system. Ensure your device's audio output is set to the 3.5mm jack if you have multiple audio options. Play any audio content (music, videos, games) from your connected device, and the sound will be routed through the soundbar.
5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Genius Mini Soundbar 100, follow these maintenance guidelines:
