module, users will enjoy further streaming distances and a more reliable streaming
connection with enhanced audio acoustic features with the melody 3D surround
sound and bass boost enrichments. The A0362 also features “deep sleep” mode to
conserve power, customized zone naming, security code settings, and a unique
property management mobile app reset control.
The A0362 ARIA Audio streaming source receiver provides a local wireless
connection for the purpose of streaming audio from sources such as smart-phones,
tablets and computers, etc with Bluetooth streaming source capability to ARIA Audio
equipped audio systems. When the A0362 is paired through ARIA Audio’s Android or
IOS app, it will receive your selected music such as iTunes, Pandora, Spotify etc.
from the smart phone to the ARIA Audio streaming source receiver. This connection
will remain on until pairing is disconnected, or the streaming source device (smart
phone), is out of range. ARIA will enter a power saving mode to conserve power
consumption and deep sleep after a period of no use. Upon entering into range, the
connection will automatically reconnect and play music in the zone and can also
follow the user around their home or business with multiple systems installed in select
locations. In addition, this can be set up as a multi-room installation to play in all
zones simultaneously.
Operation:
To pair to the A0362, open your mobile devices’ Bluetooth, select the device named
ARIA, the red LED light will turn green on the front of the ARIA receiver to indicate it
is now connected.
For systems with multiple A0362s, it is recommended the ARIA name to be changed
to easily identify each room for an optimal user experience.
Operating Range:
ARIA’s streaming source receiver devices are intended to provide wireless
communication between enabled devices within a room. In ideal line of site conditions
range can be up to 147’.
This distance can be reduced significantly by transmission interference from other
communication devices, electrical wiring and room construction materials, such as
brick walls and concrete floors. When the A0362 is operating near maximum range,
the signal may intermittently drop in and out, as signal strength varies.

ARIA Audio Source Volume Level Compatibility:
The audio output level from streaming sources can vary from brand to brand.
Although the A0362 has been adjusted to be equal to the output of most streaming
source devices, in some cases the level may be different. Most devices have their
own adjustable volume level, and it is recommended that this be used to adjust the
output level to match the main audio source’s volume level.

room name identification such as Bedroom1, Study, Patio, etc. up to 9 characters.

app. and follow the setup on the pages that follow. The app. has a security code
option. The default code is 0000 and can be changed upon connecting the app to the
Bluetooth receiver. Individual Bluetooth receiver room naming and discrete security
pairing code can be changed with the Aria app at any time before or after installation.

management features.
