Have any other FT'ers noticed, in particular but not limited to UK FT'ers, if your print of Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire has corrupt DTS t/c on R4?
While R4 plays, the DTS t/c reader's LED flashes randomly on and off, while the XD10's subtitle and narr. LEDs also blink randomly. The narration audio is garbled, as it is little chunks of mixed-up audio.
I think the XD10 is doing exactly what it is being told to do. I swapped the t/c reader with another (we only have two), and there was the same problem. I've also swapped print, as we have two of those, and we get the same problem in R4.
Both t/c readers are the same age (~9 months), and I think it unlikely that they will give the same fault, at the same time during 2 different prints of the same film.
Naturally, we've ordered a replacement R4, but I have this idea that the replacement reel may have the same problem, if it has been made from the same master copy. Does that sound plausible?
I'm open to suggestions if there's anything else I might do, to make the DTS work properly during R4. We only use DTS for accessibility requirements, that's why we've not noticed this problem before now.
