DVD screen flickers intermittently

I have a budget cyberhome CH-DVD 402 player that I bought a couple of years ago in the uk which played fine there on a small tv. I've now shifted to New Zealand and hooked it up to a Mitsubishi 29" tv CT-29AB1 that I bought in NZ about 10 years ago. I've connected it to the AV2 composite connections and it works ok, at first. Then part way through a movie the top of the screen can be seen to distort a litttle, then it will start banding or flicking intermittently, until watching a film becomes unbearable.

Can anyone please tell me if these components should be compatible. Else is it worth having the dvd player repaired or assign it to the landfill? It doesn't owe me much but it would be nice to let the kids thrash it for a few more years if I could get it playing acceptably.

Thanks for any ideas.
