It would help if you had the manual, try reading it on Sony's site.
USB to Firewire cables do not exist.
I assume it is the usb you are using, and if you are trying to capture with
the likes of MM you'll find it near impossible,as it needs firewire. If you
don't have firewire, see if you can d/l image mixer I think it's called from
sony, which is designed for use with usb.
USB will give you poor results though.

Can you not post in capitals, it's classified as shouting and rude on
newsgroups, also difficult to read..
