Hi ahmedemad1090 and welcome.

You don't tell us what version of Windows is installed on your PC.

If you have Windows XP installed, you can transfer by USB.  You may have to download the USB driver from the Support website for your model.

If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7 installed, then transfer by USB is not supported and most people use an iLink (firewire) cable to transfer video.  iLink is supported by Windows without extra drivers.

If you have no firewire input on your PC, you may be able to still use iLink if your PC has a PC Card slot or an ExpressCard slot.  You would need to buy a firewire card.

If your PC has not got a firewire or a card slot, you can't transfer your video in digital signal and will have to use the Analogue outputs from your DCR-HC62E and buy a USB video capture device to capture the analogue signal and convert it to digital in a form your PC can handle.  You can buy video capture devices from 15€ to 100€.  Something like this will be needed: -

However, I see you are in Spain so it would be best for you to Google for "USB Video Capture Device" locally.  You should have the Analogue output cable that was with the camera when you bought it.

Come back if you have any problems and someone will be able to help.
