For music (stereo) I usually have volume set to -30 to -15. the latter being pretty loud. For movies I listen anywhere from -15 to -8.
Part of the reason you have to turn up the volume for movies, is that you get fewer watts per channel in surround mode. 120wpc in stereo and 100wpc in surround. Also some recordings are just recorded louder than others.
As for the out of phase thing, I cant really help you other than saying double check your speaker wire.
The final results for the auto EQing were poor in my opinion. However the auto part did set the speaker distance exactly, so I kept that part and have set everything else manually.
