My player is set up as a transport to the 861. As such, it has the minimum number of cards. One card is the video output card (included in the base price of all 800's) which has one composite, s-video and component output each. The other card that is not included in the base price is the OE22 digital output card. This card has three multichannel digital outputs and an extra secondary output.

As far as cables included, there is a power cord and a serial computer cable for connecting your computer to the 861 for downloads. Last but not least is the famous blue digital coax cable Meridian has been including for as long as I have been a customer of theirs!
