Interestingly, the timecode dropouts only occur during the louder scenes, but then with a telling regularity. Also, we played a second house (both prints from Technicolor) which had no dropouts. The dts system which dropped out played "Pirates" without the timecode even flickering.
So obviously, we have a badly printed analog track which reaches into the dts timecode area (>>> dropouts only during louder scenes). On the other hand, it doesn't sem so bad that it affects all dts readers, only the ones which seem a little off (I am saying only a little since the same reader had no problem with other prints recently).
Which reminds me again that we are given no means to check the optical alignment.
Yes, I did check and adjust the intensity to 4VDC, and I did reposition the black auxilliary roller closer to the central roller. No, I did not try the toilet paper trick. Film tension is not the problem here, as indicated by the system only dropping out during loud scenes.
