Is an optical cable required for this system?

You would only need one if your audio source is optical. I needed one just because my TV only has an optical audio output.

No I use the HD cable and then set audio to ARC, though the optical cable is an option.

the optical cable is used just to get sound from the tv providing you are using all hdmi connections otherwise

No it is best with optical cable or they come with AV adapter cables for analog input as well.

I don't have an optical source on my television. I was using the coaxile cable and the other cables supplied with the unit.

Agree with the above. First need to be sure signal is going through the cable. Make sure that the source is set to optical out.

You need to buy an hdmi cable or an optical cable but hdmi is the way to go

Yes, it has optical input and includes an optical cable as well. Does not include HDMI cable though.

I am using this device to connect my soundbar to my LCD and to my DVD player. You will need three optical cables in addition to the box. Good luck.

You'll still need the HDMI due to the signal encoding restrictions over optical. With optical you usually are limited to 2 channels rather than the 5.1 channels over HDMI

This has no optical input. You need a splitter from the AV outputs to these speakers. They are RCA.

It comes with a digital optical cable. If your TV comes with a optical audio output connection then that's all you need.

no cables are included. Depending on your receiver you will have to see what type of cable to buy.

Yes it does come with one optical cable. Be prepared to buy a second cable for the second output. My cable television runs off of output one and everything else runs off output two.

Unfortunately I can give you no answer regarding this question. I am using the HDMI inputs/outputs. My unit has 4 HDMI in and 2 HDMI out. I do not recall my unit having optical outputs.

It has 1 optical in. So if you wanted to you can connect it that way or by the analog audio cables (red and white) from DVD player

That's correct. The system works great but it will require a cable connecting the receiver and transmitter.

Yes, just need an digital audio out for optical cable. This cable comes with the speakers.
