No, it doesn't come with any audio cables, Philips is knows for not supplying video and audio cables on their video and audio devices.

yes, mine came with cable. I got it at Walmart so I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

No. Has no optical drive. Great machine for its purpose, but connections is not part of that. Only ports are three USBs.

yes - found it marked on the back of the receiver and in the manual. Haven't used it though - been using an optical link

Nope there's no optical drive. That's why I had to buy a seperate external optical drive

Yes, that's why I bought it. Picture shows cable but I can't recall if for sure it came with it.

Yes, it comes with a cable, but the cable is very cleverly hidden in the cardboard packaging. You will have to look very closely to see it. I almost threw away the box with the cable still in it.

It does not come with a optical drive(dvd/blueray). You can however get an external USB DVD/RW that will work as you would expect. Since most content is accessed online the need for optical drives is diminishing. This external drive solves both problems. If you do not need it at the time do not plug in to lessen your battery run time. If needed put laptop on AC power and use external drive.

NO, it does not come with any optical drive. I bought an external USB optical drive as an add on.

Yes it does but the manual states "The optical connection is only needed for A/V receivers that do not support ARC (Audio Return Channel)

No. It doesnt. YOu have to buy that separately. But it comes with the vga cable. You can use that

It does not include one. It has two bays that are 5.25 inches wide that you can purchase an optical drive for.

Indeed it does with only one cable so if you desire to have multiple optical cables but an extra set.

No. It has no optical drive, making one more reason I regret ever buying this monstrosity of poor design.
