Help: To connect and get footage from camcorder to pc?

I have an old JVC Compact VHS camcorder (GR-AX800). I want to transfer my footage from one of my old casettes/tapes from the camcorder to the Pc.

The only connections/sockets for cables on the camcorder seems to be a socket for an edit cable and a socket for an RF DC Out with Audio and Video outlets.

I really have no idea how to do this. I dont want anything fansy. I just want to be able to view all my old casettes on Quicktime or some other software on the computer...

If someone can please help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I should add I have an Radeon X850 Pro graphics card in my computer.
