It's not a lack of current persay.. its the wires. what i have been told to do, is to run a lead from a bigger lead, say off your rear dist blocks, like a 12 or 10 ga wire, to power the unit, then do the ground the same, just braid them together( i think you can do that). mine doesn't skip, never has. altho it is a bit dim at times.. looks good at night tho..

My Eclipse 5504 has the same problem, but it does this at any volume. Just last night my unit paused it self, as i hit the pause button thinking it was paused i get this on the screen "info 3". I'm glad im getting a brand new replacement soon, THANK GOD for warranties.

Yeah, eclipses quality has been slipping lately. The 5303r is probably one of the best pieces they made though. Have you tried cleaning the lens? that might be contributing to the problem.
