[sarnade999]

Hi Everyone. I would like to copy all of my Videos onto DVD but I realise I require an A/V Port Replicator (Docking Station).
Does anyone know what the sony part number is for this item.
My Model is : VGN-FS315E

Thanks

Hi sarnade999

welcome to Club Vaio,

The docking station for the FS series is the VGPPRFS1

Thanks Thalamus for your prompt reply, but apparently there are 2 types of Port replicators.

One is a Business Replicator and the other is an A/V type. This can be verified in the user manual under the heading of: "Connecting a Port Replicator"

The one you mentioned is for Business.
I need the A / V Replicator

thanks again

Hmm, I can only find reference to one port replicator/docking station for the FS range, I have checked the manual page 60 I can not see any mention of different types.

Also I have found the manual for the port replicator for the FS range and again there is only one listed.

Are you sure there are two models

There is reference to a PRFS1AC-EMB01 but it appears to be the same model docking station with an additional charger..

Is this possibly what you were thinking of..:smileyconfused:

Some docking ststions do not have the connectivity you require. You need one with A/V, Video and S-Video connections.

Have a look

HERE

one of these may fit a FS -- but it doesn't actually say so!

You may need to buy an external USB device like this:

Cheap and Cheerful

or one with an analogue TV Tuner like this:

TV and Video

Hi Blencogo..
Thanks ever so much for your advice.
This device from Amazon is exactly what I am looking for..It's a lot cheaper than a docking station.

I would like to thank everyone for there support.
