A:Answer All you need are 2 HDMI cables. One for the cable box and one for the VCR. A fiber optic cable is not necessary.
If, also , purchased a Sound Bar (it is not needed, but , it is nicer sound) it comes with the sound bar, a Bluetooth sub woofer and optical cable to connect to the TV.
The Sound Bar is not necessary, but, it offers the effect of Surround Sound. The sub woofer can be placed anywhere in the room and plugged into an electrical outlet. The 2 speakers turn off after the TV is turned off!!!!!
