5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Power On/Off and Volume Control
The large illuminated swivel control knob on the front right side of the soundbar serves as both the power switch and volume control.
- To Power On/Off: Rotate the knob clockwise from the 'off' position to turn the soundbar on. Continue rotating to increase volume. Rotate counter-clockwise until it clicks to turn off.
- To Adjust Volume: Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The illumination around the knob indicates the power status and can change with volume adjustments.

5.2 Headphone and Microphone Sockets
Two 3.5mm sockets are located on the front of the soundbar, next to the volume control, for convenient connection of headphones and a microphone.
