How to Set Up Bypass Mode

Connect Your TV to Oasis Plus

Connect your TV's audio output to the corresponding audio input on Oasis Plus.

For example, you can connect your TV's OPTICAL OUT to Oasis Plus's OPTICAL INPUT.

Important: Make sure you are using an audio output on your TV and an audio input on Oasis Plus.

Connect Oasis Plus to Your Sound System

Connect the audio output on Oasis Plus to the matching audio input on your soundbar or external audio system.

If you are using optical connections, connect Oasis Plus's OPTICAL OUTPUT to your soundbar's OPTICAL INPUT.

Check the Port Labels: The TV connects to Oasis Plus's audio input, while the soundbar connects to Oasis Plus's audio output. Do not reverse these connections.

Select Bypass Mode

Set Oasis Plus to its Bypass operating mode using the mode control on the device.

Make sure your soundbar or external speaker is powered on and set to the correct audio input.

Tip: Refer to the video above for a visual demonstration of the Oasis Plus mode control and connections.

Test the Audio

Play a TV program or video with sound.
Confirm your soundbar or external speaker is using the connected input.
Check that the sound is playing through your external sound system.

Bypass Mode Is Working

Your TV audio is now passing through Oasis Plus to your wired sound system.

Important: Bypass Mode is for passing audio through Oasis Plus to a wired audio system. It is different from Bluetooth transmitter mode, which sends audio to Bluetooth headphones.

Common Questions

There Is No Sound from My Soundbar in Bypass Mode

Check that the TV's audio output is connected to Oasis Plus's audio input and that Oasis Plus's audio output is connected to your soundbar's input.

Make sure the soundbar is turned on and set to the correct input.

If using optical audio, check your TV's digital audio format setting. For Bluetooth transmitter operation, PCM is required; if Bypass Mode remains silent, try PCM as a troubleshooting step.

Can I Switch Between Bluetooth Headphones and My Soundbar?

Yes. With the appropriate audio connections, you can use Oasis Plus in transmitter mode for Bluetooth headphones or in Bypass Mode for your wired sound system.

Select the operating mode that matches how you want to listen.

Can I Use Bypass Mode with an HDMI ARC Soundbar?

Oasis Plus does not provide an HDMI ARC connection. Its wired bypass function uses its supported audio input and output connections.

If your soundbar has an optical input, you may be able to use an optical connection for Bypass Mode.

Check your soundbar's available inputs before connecting.

Does Bypass Mode Send Audio to Bluetooth Headphones?

Bypass Mode routes audio to the wired audio output. To send TV audio wirelessly to Bluetooth headphones, use Oasis Plus in transmitter (TX) mode instead.
