Answer 1

Your best bet is to check with JVC support and download a manual. And check this site for resolved answers.

Answer 2

The sd card in your camcorder is for taking stills.

Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don't come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder
