Which make and model of Panasonic digital camcorder?
Is the camcorder turned on and in VCR mode? Is it connected to A/C power
and not by its internal battery?
"All of the previous advice".... yes, but how far back have you gone in the
newsgroups!
Does the IEEE1394 card appear to be installed correctly in the Device
Manager?
When you connect the camcorder to the PC, is there a 'ding' noise?
