3. Enter the title/chapter/track number or the time (H, MM, SS).
Numbers enter from the right to the left thus the first number entered
appears on the far right (SS
) then is forced towards the left (H) field
with each number added.
Title: enter the number – Title 2 = 2
Chapter/Track: enter the number(s) – Chapter 12 = 1, 2
Time: enter the entire number including zeros when appropriate

4. Press PLAY or ENTER to begin playback.
Note: If searching by frame, the recorder pauses on the specified frame and waits for a
PLAY or other command before continuing.
5.2 Time & Frame Search Guidelines
When issuing a time search, playback may begin slightly before or after the
indicated time. The PRV-9000 is programmed to jump to the closed full frame.
In DVD technology, this full frame is known as an I frame. The recorder checks
before and after the selected point on the disc for the closed I frame then jumps
to that frame.
To issue a time search to DVD-Video and Video-format media, the disc must be
playing. The recorder ignores the command if the disc is stopped.
If Frame Search is ON, add a frame number to the end of the time search. The
frame number needs to be between 0 and frame 24 for the U.S. standard NTSC
(30 frames/per second) video. For example, 22 minutes, 10 seconds and 5
frames is entered as 2, 2, 1, 0, 0, 5.
When using Frame Search with film material, the recorded rate is 24 frames/per
second. The difference between the NTSC video rate of 30/fps and film’s 24/fps
may cause an exact frame search to fail. Film’s playback rate causes frame-
count inaccuracies.
Note: If searching by frame, the recorder pauses on the specified frame and waits for a
PLAY or other command before continuing.
