    Has anyone tried the VGP-PRFE1 docking station with the AR series? (See it at http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INT...cessories_Dockports&DCMP=FROOGLE&HQS=VGPPRFE1)

    I'm curious as to whether the coaxial jack in the back is accessible when the laptop is plugged into the docking station... based on the image I've seen, it looks questionable, and if you can't use the coax jack, it's arguable whether this docking station is truly "compatible" with the AR series as Sony claims. I believe it was originally designed for the FE series, and many listings for it online mention only the FE series. It's really only an issue if it doesn't support all of the AR's functionality (e.g. the coax jack). Thanks for any info.

    Anyone? I suppose the AR series is pretty new, but hopefully someone has tried this...
