Phase errors Acousticmass 10

Recently upgraded recvr/amp to Pioneer Elite 1021 which has an automatic speaker balance feature that my 90s era Sony never had. It tells me 3 of my 5 speakers are out of phase. I've checked the wiring and find none reversed.

I installed my Bose Acoustimass 10 10-12 years ago by routing the rears, left front and center speakers through the attic to avoid a mess of wires in the room. Bose installation manual says not to do that, but that I did out of perceived necessity. One thought is the phase problem is due to that extra cable length, connectors, etc. upsets the Bose design.

Any suggestions welcome. OTOH, from what I've read here I already know wasted my money on Bose, etc. etc.That's what I chose and that can't be changed. What I need is a way forward.

Thanks in advance.

Receivers sometimes see Bose speakers differently because they seem to work differently than most other types of speakers. I don't think the length of the wire has much to do with it. The Bose speakers themselves might be the cause. Have you tried reversing the wires of the affected speakers anyway?

Thanks for the quick response, Gene. No, I haven't. However, the sound engineer of an opera house said I should. I'm beginning to get the message!
