how time turner works

Hi.  I've read posts about time turners being only capable of taking 
a person back and not forward in time.  I am wondering why this idea 
is so widely accepted.  Is it somewhere in one of the books?  

Also, does this mean you can't go back in your past and then time 
turn yourself back to what is your own present?  For instance, could 
Harry go back to 1993 and check something out, like where he buried a 
stack of galleons, and then time turn himself back to 2003 so he can 
find it? Or is the 2003 Harry now stuck in 1993?

If anyone has any ideas or can point me in the right direction I'd 
really appreciate it.  Thanks bunches.
