LSiM 706c out of phase in MCACC
Each time I run MCACC on my Pioneer, the utility thinks that my 706c is out of phase. I have not had this issue with previous center speakers and I have triple checked that the wiring is correct. I just select the option to move on and all sounds fine. I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this issue?

You might try it manually and see what you think.
I put my LSiM703's in my system and I had the same error. Dennis, how do you check it with a AA batt?

Interesting. I had the same error when i ran Audyssey on my 703s today.
I just rechecked the speaker cable connections and once satisfied nothing was amiss, ignored the error and proceeded with the calibration
I am beginning to wonder if i need to do some more investigation.

Really, so this is by design? How did you find this out, by testing or did you read this somewhere?

This time i had one lsim703 and one Rti A7 and again the LSim was the only speaker with the phase error. No errors on the A7
I kept the A7 and swapped the other 703. Error still on the 703.
Ran Audyssey on both A7s. No phase errors.
Replaced them with the 703s, rechecked the cable connections and ran Audyssey and again the phase error.
Previously i had just selected SKIP ERROR and moved on.
This time just out of curiosity, I moved the positive connections to the negative terminals and vise versa (in contrast to the amplifier outputs) and this time no phase error!
So it appears the "issue" is with the 703s.
For what it is worth i have not noticed any difference in the sound IN or OUT of phase.
May be I need to do a bit more critical listening.
Also the last time i had a phase error, when doing Audyssey several months ago, the utility flagged the right rear surround speaker and lo and behold it was correct. I made the correct connection and all was well. I was impressed.
So i am certain the receiver is not the issue here.

I've gotten this same error with my current RT3000 right speaker when I had a Pioneer SC unit. The speaker is closer to the wall and I did not have room treatments. It did not fail all the time depending on where I placed the mic. So, mine was more a reflective error.

I found this out (speaking for the 703) by testing and looking at the printing on the crossover board, the + of the woofer connects to the negative side of the crossover circuit.

You shouldn't see the tweeter or mid move since they have capacitors in series which block DC, but the woofer should move inward with + to + and - to -.
