Sony dcr-40e mini cassette need docking station number?

L

Since the DCR-SR40e is a hard drive based and there is no "DCR-40e", we assume you mean the DCR-HC40e. Link to the manual: https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/res/manuals/3088/30883401M.pdf Page 15 lists that which was included in the box when the HC40e was new. There is no need for a "Handycam station" and none was included in the box. The hard drive based DCR-SR40e needs a Handycam station... but not the DCR-HC40e miniDV tape based camcorder. Some Sony camcorders needed the Handycam station when various ports were not built-in to the camcorder - the DCR-HC40e is not one of those camcorders needing a Handycam station.

Most of that kind of information can be found by doing a simple google search. You might need to look at what Sony's site provides (under "Support"). Or, call the customer service department at 800 222 7669.
