The control jack is what they call "control-L".  I ordered the technical
manual from Sony and it seems to be a serial port of some kind.  I
haven't been able to build a proper cable to hook this to my computer
because the manual is a little vague.  Does someone out there know how
to do this?

Maybe you could hack a circuit on to the remote control to "push" the
buttons for you.  That way if you destroyed something it would be the
relatively cheap remote and not your whole camcorder.
