You may have forgot to set the input jack to IN mode. Here's a snippet of the info necessary to complete this task from your user manual.
Copying an S-VHS or VHS Cassette to your DV Cassette
After connecting the Palmcorder and the S-Video, Video, Audio Output Jacks B of the other equipment, start the following procedures.
Note: You need the Remote Controller. [Palmcorder]
1. Set [VCR FUNCTIONS] >> [AV IN/OUT SETUP] >> [AV JACK] [IN/OUT].
2. Insert a blank Cassette with an erasure prevention tab.
[Other Equipment]
3. Insert a recorded Cassette and start playback.
[Palmcorder]
4. While pressing the [REC] Button, press the [PLAY] Button. (Both buttons are located on the Remote Controller.)
5. Press the pause button or stop button to stop recording.
[Other Equipment]
6. Press the Stop Button to stop playback.
Try this and see if it gets you going.

Sure,
Ron Repking wrote an entire article series about transferring VHS and analog tapes to digital formats like DVD. One of these articles is dedicated to transferring digital video to a computer capture card.
