Liteon LVW-5005 Problem of jerky recording

:/
I bought a Liteon 5005B, October production, about 8 weeks ago. I am pleased with its flexibility and ease of use but I am having one major problem with it.

When I record it has an intermittent problem as follows. Sometimes it goes into a mode where the picture on the screen gets very jerky. If I look at the recording in single frame mode then what I see is nine frames recorded correctly but the tenth frame is a duplicate of the ninth frame. It then records nine more frames correctly and then another duplicate. It gets stuck in this mode for about five minutes and then it corrects itself for a while before it goes wrong again. When this happens the picture is jerky both during the recording session and then, of course, on playback so the recording is difficult to watch and nearly useless. I record from the SCART input usually in EP mode.

Sometimes it will even go jerky when I am not recording but when the DVD is switched on and the programme is passing through the DVD from the SCART input to SCART output. It never goes jerky when the DVD is switched off and so I am sure it is not a problem with my other equipment.

I have already installed the latest firmware revision released in January but this did not make any difference to this problem although it did solve a previous problem with auto-tuning UK channels.

Has anyone else experienced this or is it a fault with my particular DVD recorder?

It`s got to be a fault, take it back.
