Answer:

1 x microphone 1 x composite video/audio output 1 x S-Video output 1 x IEEE 1394 (FireWire/i.LINK) 1 x DC power input You can use a Firewire cable Connection to transfer video to pc http://etc.usf.edu/te_mac/hardware/i/firewirecable.jpg but your PC has to have a Firewire card http://www.stormcomputers.com.au/catalog/images/FWcard.jpg Or If you have a S-Video connection you can use that port http://z.about.com/d/hometheater/1/7/C/9/svideo2.JPG http://www.seriousmagic.com/images/help/tutorial24/camera_svideo.jpg Or composite video/audio output http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/images/knowledgecenter/camera_composite.jpg http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/images/knowledgecenter/capturecard_composite.jpg .

Take camera to PC World and ask, assume your PC has a USB port. Again if not sure ask PCW.

A FireWire cord if your computer has a FireWire input. If not you'll hve to buy a firewire PCI card as well.

I use a firewire cable to connect my camcorder to my laptop. When I bought the camcorder I was advised to double check my laptop had a firewire connection because it's a relatively new thing apparently.

I am not sure what cable you would need but any good photography shop will be able to give you or order you the correct one for your camcorder - you will probably also need a capture card for your pc - any good pc shop will have these (they may also have the cable for your camera)
