GR-HD1 Can't capture from multiple tapes

I'm new to Vegas software, and I'm having problems capturing from my JVC GR-HD1 Camcorder in DV (non-HDV) mode.

I captured from the first tape that I inserted into the camera with no problems, but when I insert any tape other than the one I started with, I can't capture anything.

If I place the original, first tape, back in the camera I can capture from it, but it wont allow me to capture from any other tape. I just get a black preview screen. This is probably a simple setting or something, but I can't figure out why it wont allow any other tapes to be captured.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Jeff

Additional Information:

In trying to determine what was "different" about the first tape (the tape that I WAS able to capture from) I remembered that this tape had video that I had recorded from a VHS tape via the A/S in port on the camera... So I decided to see what would happen if I took a tape that I could NOT capture from and recorded some footage from a VHS tape via the A/S in port on the camera and, lo and behold, I am able to capture ONLY that footage that was from a VHS tape via the A/S in port on the camera.

So it seems that for some reason, I'm not able to capture any footage that was actually shot with the GR-HD1 camera.

Anybody had the same problem?
