Oasis Plus: How to Use with a Soundbar
Oasis Plus supports a pass-through (Bypass) function that allows you to listen through your Bluetooth headphones and an external soundbar or stereo system.
Follow these 3 simple steps to connect your soundbar.
Oasis Plus's Bypass function requires the same type of audio connection for both the TV input and soundbar output. If your TV is connected using Optical, your soundbar must also be connected using Optical. If your TV is connected using AUX, use AUX for the soundbar as well.
How the Connection Works
Bluetooth headphones can also receive audio when Oasis Plus is operating in TX mode with the headphones connected.
Set Oasis Plus to TX / BYPASS or OFF
Locate the mode switch on Oasis Plus. Slide it to the TX / BYPASS or OFF position.
Connect an Audio Cable to Oasis Plus
Plug an additional audio cable into the matching port in the RX OUTPUT TO SPEAKER section of Oasis Plus.
Which Cable Are You Using?
Option: Optical Connection
Connect an additional Optical cable to the OPTICAL OUT port in the RX OUTPUT TO SPEAKER section of Oasis Plus.
Option: AUX Connection
Connect an additional 3.5mm AUX cable to the AUX OUT port in the RX OUTPUT TO SPEAKER section of Oasis Plus.
The original Oasis Plus Bypass guide specifies matching input and output types. For example, an Optical input from the TV cannot be passed through to the soundbar using the AUX output.
Connect the Other End to Your Soundbar
Plug the other end of the additional cable into the corresponding audio input on your soundbar or stereo system.
Make sure the soundbar is powered on and set to the correct input.
Play audio from your TV and check whether sound is coming through your soundbar.
Double-check that the TV input and soundbar output use the same cable type, and that the soundbar is set to the matching audio input.
Common Questions
Can I Listen Through Bluetooth Headphones and a Soundbar at the Same Time?

The Soundbar Has No Sound. What Should I Check?
Check that your soundbar is powered on, its correct audio input is selected, and the cable is securely connected.
Confirm that the TV and soundbar connections use the same audio cable type.
If you use an Optical connection and experience audio issues, check your TV's digital audio output settings. Some setups may require PCM.

Hi Jerry,
What do you mean pair with it with cables? You can connect the Oasis plus with your TV via Optical cable, and then connect the soundbar with the Oasis's output OPT jack.
