The only issue is those cables are composite. That is the lowest quality. In my experience, equipment never includes s-video, component, optical(toslink), or digital coax. Not sure if the HDMI products are including the HDMI cable. I doubt it.
True. That's just for my setup, though.. most everything in it is top stuff, except my TV.. it's ancient. It's actually older than S-Video, and has only a composite input.
My problem is that I don't like to replace stuff that doesn't need replacing. My ten-year old stereo died, so I bought a 5.1 reciever.. my seven-year old DVD player died, I bought a shiny new one with pro-scan and all that stuffs (future-proofing). But my TV still works just fine (and has a surprisingly good picture), so I'm loathe to buy a new one.. don't like wasting stuff. I'll probably be getting an HDTV sometime this year, though.
Back to the cable thing, my reciever came with a coax cable. Not a very good one, but it had one. I think they figured that it's a 5.1 system, wouldn't do much good if it couldn't do 5.1 out of the box. But I bought a better one and gave the old one to a friend of mine (who before then only had stereo cables going into his reciever... I recently did a "proper" rewiring of his system, and he's been astounded by the results.. hehe).
