Connecting the Camcorder to a Computer

Be sure to install the Digital Video Software before you connect the
camcorder to the computer.
Make sure the camcorder is being powered using the power adapter before
connecting it to a computer.
Connect the USB cable directly to one of the computer's main USB ports.
The interface may not function correctly if the camcorder is connected via a
USB hub.
The connection may not operate correctly if you are using other USB
devices, excluding USB mice or keyboards, at the same time. If this occurs,
disconnect the other devices from the computer and try reconnecting the
camcorder.
Do not connect two or more camcorders to the same computer via the USB
interface. The connections may not operate correctly.
Never allow the computer to go into standby (sleep) mode while a
camcorder is connected via the USB interface.
Refer to your computer manual for the location of the computer's USB ports.
See your camcorder instruction manual for connecting instructions.
