1) We've had MTS out here several times to adjust the sound levels, but they keep 'going out' after a few days.
2) I don't have any Dolby Tone loop, or any test film for that matter.

Dustin,
Sound levels should not be going out after a few days. Please describe exactly what is happening to the levels. Are optical stereo levels the only ones going out or is digital affected also? Does the sound level drop, rise or random up and down? Is this happening on more than one screen? How many screens? Do you have regulated exciter lamp supplies? What model are the exciter lamp supplies?

So many things can affect this problem, so it is important to check all things.

I will send you some Dolby tone loop and instructions. E-mail me at oscar@smartdev.com with address for shipping.

Oscar,
Its happening mainly on one screen and only effects the stereo sound (very quiet). I'll check on the exciter lamp types.

It is kind of you to offer the Dolby Tone loop, but if you're going to charge for it I have to turn it down, since the District office won't approve anything and I don't have enough money to go out of pocket. If you're offering it for free-thank you!
