Time Search (DVD and Video CD only): For example, for 45 minutes into the disc, press 4, 5, 0, 0. For 1 hour and 15 minutes and 20 seconds into the disc, press 1, 1, 5, 2, 0.

•If Frame Search is On (see Frame Search on page 87), then you need to add a frame number to the end of the time search. For example 22 minutes, 10 seconds and 5 frames, press 2, 2, 1, 0, 0, 5.

•PAL video contains 25 frames per second, numbered 0 through 24.

•When using frame search with film material (recorded at 24 frames/second), accurate frame search may not be possible. This is because of the difference between the recorded frame rate and the playback frame rate.

•If you searched by frame, the recorder will pause on the selected frame.
