wrong pixel aspect...?!

My DVX102BE (PAL) has operated great for 3 years now, but since some months it has problems during the output signal with firewire.
Normally it puts out a 720x567 pixels, normal SD format.
Sometimes it switches to 1280×576 pixels...

The image appears stretched.
I guess it has something to do with using Premiere Pro CS5. When I use Final Cut Pro, it just captures normal SD format all the time. When I capture live (direct from the DVX to my Mac) with CS5, then this 'format switch' happens in between capturing.

Might this problem be caused because I took my DVX apart a couple of times? (to fix broken lens barrels, or LCD screens that broke, common accidents that occur when filming skateboarding).
or is this a software malfunction? Or something to do with the internal DV terminal being damaged?
Or do I just need to reinstall CS5?

I want to know this for sure, because I want to start using a DTE recorder soon, and this might be a problem when it is a defect in the DVX.
 
With Premiere Pro CS5, just open the Capture window (fn+F5) and it says "Camera Mode." as long as there is a tape in the deck, this works.
But it isn't only with live capturing, also with capturing from tape, that sometimes in between capturing clips, it switches to 1280x567. But I hope this has something to do with Premiere CS5.
That's why I was asking, maybe someone else had this problem before also.
