ABSTRACT:
A program search method for a digital signal processor which can search a program irrespective of the presence or absence of chapter numbers indicating portions of a recorded program includes the steps for setting predetermined search interval and reproduction period according to respective external inputs, jumping from a present location by the predetermined search interval set in the setting step, reproducing the program from a recording medium for the predetermined reproduction period set during the setting step after performing the jumping step, and then repeatedly performing the jumping and reproducing steps. In contrast with the conventional method, the program search method performs search and intro functions by the set intervals, which are defined in terms of time or frame units. Thus, the multi-intro scan function can be performed even if there is no chapter number differentiation for each respective program.
