Hi Dave.

You dont really need to do anything. The fact that the setup software detected all of your speakers as being reversed says they are all wired consistantly. If it really bugs you, just flip the speaker wires at the back of the receiver and the setup software will be happy.

The problem is that sometimes 1 speaker is wired backwards and it is out-of-phase with the others. This means the other speakers are pushing out , but the odd speaker is pulling in with the same signal. Thats not great.

The setup software ... is picky. It fires a test tone and has detected your speaker drivers are pulling back when it assumes they should be pushing out. So it reports them all as "REV". As long as all the speakers are forward or "REV", you are fine.

Hope this helps.
