If all four channels are out of phase they are in effect in phase relative to each other but may be reversed in polarity compared to any other channels. How many other channels are you using and how are they wired?[/quote]


I've swapped the four channels at the speaker(s) and now have correct sound and YPAO now confirms they're in phase.
I knew something was wrong, but I've never heard speakers that were wire wired incorrectly(not my own anyway.
Believe it or not, even out of phase they sounded better than the speakers they replaced.

So YPAQ was accurate and not faulty, good to know it was not error prone.

It is error prone but never 4 at once. That and I couldn't get it to sound right.
During the last YPAO, the center was out. I hadn't changed the wiring or the speaker when installing the amp.
Not really a concern with one channel, its done it countless times before but never on multiple attempts or with more than one channel.

Maybe YPAQ, never used that technology, always Denon's with Audyssey.

I just did some wire adjustments on my system to accommodate a new PVR and discovered my network adapter in the 3808 was locked up. I had to do hard reset on the system to get everything working again. This means I lost all my settings etc. as I hadn't done a back up of my system settings, so I needed to run through Audyssey once again. I discovered I had managed to reverse the LF speaker connection, Audyssey revealed it to me while doing the setup, it is kind of nice it looks for these things.

You can do a backup of your system config?

On the 3808 with "command3808"

I believe it is also possible with the standard web interface as well.

I got that backwards, you can save your config via the built in web interface and having just checked with Command 3808 it does not provide config saving.
