I'm relatively new to the projection booth (about 1 year), and I have been rather roughly thrown into the position of chief as our previous projectionist left without much warning. I had a few months of side by side training with him, but of course, I'm still learning everyday. So anyway, on with my question.
On the particular projector in question (Strong Superhighlight II console, Century projector head) I have both a basement optical reader (Century, analog) and a dolby cat. 702 penthouse reader. The problem lies somewhere with the basement reader. Our policy logos do not have a digital track, so the sound reading duties drop down below for the minute or two of policy. When this happens, the volume level drops significantly. Almost muted. Even though it's just the elevator music that you suddenly can't hear, it's not very nice to the guests when the trailer or feature begins and the sound instantly jumps back to normal volume level. So I'm assuming something needs replacement- the light signal is not strong enough to be picked up properly? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
