Do the EFFEKT / EFFEKT 2 connect automatically after initial setup?
If the wireless speakers were previously connected to a compatible transmitter, a connection will be established immediately. The LED status indicator then lights up solid white.
The EFFEKT / EFFEKT 2 LED status indicator blinks slowly or quickly white. What does this mean?
The LED status indicator of the EFFEKT / EFFEKT 2 boxes can indicate the following situations:

- LED blinks slowly white: Connection was successfully established, but currently no connection to the source device is possible (e.g., if the source device is not ready or possibly too far away).
- LED blinks quickly (rapidly) white: Speakers are in pairing mode (= pairing mode).
- LED glows solid red: EFFEKT / EFFEKT 2 are in standby mode.

The menu for the settings of the EFFEKT / EFFEKT 2 speakers is only displayed after successful pairing. Please follow the information in the article on first connection.

The level of the EFFEKT / EFFEKT 2 speakers should be set about 3–4 decibels lower than that of the front speakers or the soundbar.

If the rear LED blinks slowly in white, EFFEKT / EFFEKT 2 are still waiting for (re-)connection to a known source device. Make sure that the source device is also ready to use. If this is the case, briefly disconnect the source device from power and then first start the source device and then the EFFEKT / EFFEKT 2. If this does not help, please perform a .
