Ok, once I got thru the trials and tribulations of registering...... You use the 5 digit S/N of the mic to register and someone had fat fingered my S/N in March so it appeared as already in use. A copy of my invoice and photo of the S/N and Audyssey support cleared that up. Once I made a trip to town to get a 25' serial cable (included is a serial to usb adapter but I used my PC in another room and I 'hear' that usb to serial drivers are flaky) and the PC was connected to the pre/pro and registered I got step by step instructions during the cal. My center reported and being out of phase (checked connection at amp and xover inputs, good). Here are the results you can see that my front three Belles hit the max attenuation of -12 db and my amp has no gain control so... Center is being crossed over differently. Something going on there? I need to check driver wiring.  |

Hello Navy;
I cannot speak to your center channel audyssey problem; however, my best guess is that you are using a first gen., XPA-5 as well as XLR interconnects, is this correct?
Regards,
HTinPara

Regards, HTinPara First Gen yes, but I am using RCA interconnect. I see no use of XLRs in such a short connection as I have no noise issues. |

Seems to pretty simple to me... your front 3 speakers are way, way more sensitive (or just plain playing way more loudly in your room location) than your surrounds and thus Audyssey is having to back down the trims to try and compensate. For some reason also, the center channel is being detected as being out of phase with the rest of your speakers... This can happen with speakers in some rooms based on room acoustics and speaker placement when actually they can be in phase... but it could also indicate an internal wiring or crossover issue on that particular speaker I would think.. The fact that you seem surprised by its crossover setting would also seem to indicate a legitimate "out of phase" problem with that speaker.. Your speakers are modded with special crossovers?

Yes all have ALK Engineering Extremes and all have the same custom horns from Volti Audio. I can find no issues with wiring. |

Is it possible to swap the center channel speaker with one of the left or right channels and rerun Audyssey and see if the Out of phase indication and crossover setting follows that speaker?

Yes it's possible. I have to take the system down to move the electronics to make room for new subs so I'll check it then. |

Ive had the same issue with Audyssey xt32. If you go over to AVS forum, there is a Audyssey thread and this has been discussed a lot. If your speakers are wired correctly externally and internally, then skip and move on. This has only happened to me on my center channel. I have a feeling its because where its placed which is inside a cabinet making it seemed out of phase.
If you speakers are being cut -12db, get some "pads" to correct this. I think they make -3db -12db ones.

I am the author of the Audyssey FAQ and Audyssey Pro FAQs at AVS. The FAQs have useful information for you. Briefly, it is fine to ignore an Out of Phase warning so long as you have checked your speaker wiring etc and that it is correct.

I know it has been a while for this thread, but do you have the link?
I ran audyssey a couple of times but the movie stuff sounds horrible, the music sounds very good , I mean very good but the audio on movies sounds muffled. I assume here that I am doing something wrong with this new AV8801
