3 things that i can think of.
1 there is something wrong with any power supply that goes to this new device.
2 the cables may be an issue, they may work fine, but when you plug another cable in you get the problem.
3 its just the unit.
i have a new DVD recorder that i picked up for 5 bucks, it stoped working for DVD playback after 3 days.
everything else works fine, even records and plays back DVD-R.
issue i have is that when i had my LD hooked into it while waiting for some cables i had a rolling line also.
i think its an issue with too many things chained, i sort of remember the daisy chain effect back in the day with VCRs
so it could be the same type of thing????
