In summary, the Onkyo 'line out' connectors are going to pass your CD signal out to the Oasis which will send it via Bluetooth to your headphones. However, not many people use tape decks anymore so some manufacturers - such as Onkyo - now label the tape output as 'Line Out' instead. For example, you would have connected your tape deck to these if you wished to record a CD. Now, if it helps to understand better what's going on here, then historically these connectors would have been labelled 'Tape Out'. On the rear panel of your Onkyo are Left and Right connectors that are labelled 'Line Out'. Step 1 - connecting the Oasis to the Onkyo Then you'll be able to listen to your CDs on your wireless headphones. You'll then turn the Oasis on and pair it to your Bluetooth headphones.

In overview, you are going to connect a lead from your Onkyo to the Oasis. What follows is a good example of how sometimes explaining something is more complicated than just doing it! That's no problem because there's a different way of achieving the same thing. Let's see if we can get you sorted out!įirstly, we will now forget any talk of optical connectors as your Denon doesn't have one. Thank you for your nice reply and extra info. The standard Oasis supports the Bluetooth aptX codec used by those wireless Sennheisers you have, so they would be suitable partners. I went for the 'Plus' version solely because I have some Sony headphones that support the Bluetooth aptX(HD) format.

I use the next version up - the Oasis Plus - in a similar arrangement and it works an absolute treat. Slide it across instead to 'Bypass' and the signal is passed through to your Onkyo for listening on your loudspeakers. Slide it to 'Bluetooth' and you will hear the CD player through your Bluetooth headphones. The Oasis is supplied with the necessary analogue cable in the box to do exactly that.Īnyhow, assuming the Oasis is connected between the Denon and Onkyo, then what you listen to is controlled by the slider switch on the right side of the Oasis (see the top photo in the Amazon listing).

One optical cable is supplied with the Oasis.Īlternatively, if your Denon does not have an optical output, then in order to transmit the Bluetooth signal you could simply wire the Oasis off the line output connectors of your Onkyo to the analogue TX (transmitter) input on the Oasis. If the Denon has an optical output then you connect this to the Oasis, then use a second optical cable from the Oasis to the Onkyo. One possible solution would be to connect an Avantree Oasis between your Denon CD player and Onkyo receiver.

Downside is the monthly subscription which would probably end up costing more than the cheap smartphone plus sd card in the long run, but would give you access to much more music besides. The only other option would be to subscribe to a streaming service, most of which probably have all of those albums you have on CD and many stream in lossless formats now i.e the same quality as CD. Obviously ripping them to your ipod would work.Ī cheap option might be to purchase a cheap second hand smartphone which takes an sd card and get a 64gb or 128gb card, which are relatively cheap these days, but again, if you already have an ipod with sufficient space then just use that. One option is going to have to be ripping your CDs onto a digital device (laptop, tablet or phone) with Bluetooth capabilities, but appreciate there's plenty of time involved in that and you also need plenty of storage space (not easy with apple devices). I think that the Bluetooth on the Onkyo amp is for sending digital files 'to' the amp, not 'from' it. With your current set up, I don't think you can I'm afraid.
