No. The HDMI cable is the ONLY way to feed a 1080p (best) signal into your HDTV, from your Blu-ray player.
The other (free) cables are the unnecessary ones.

I read *some* of the instructions, which said that the HDMI "is best" because its "digital". The AV cable/cord is "analog", which is "better" (than a composite system) with a component type TV system. The AV cord is the least sharp with a "composite" set-up type TV.
I'm trying to figure out if a blu ray system is not a blu ray system when using analog cables/cords? And if not, why do they put the darn AV cords in the darn box? The makers should put a proper HDMI cable in the box and charge the right price for it.
Oh well, I did get an HDMI cord as was suggested.

Excellent questions.
Blu-ray players will deliver the (current) maximum quality, which is 1080p. As I've said, ONLY an HDMI cable will deliver the 1080p content.
However, there are plenty of HD and HD-Ready televisions in homes that will not display 1080p, nor do some of these (mostly older) televisions have HDMI inputs. These sets display 1080i and 720p, and the best way to connect these particular sets is by component cables.
Component - The video signal is split into three signals, two color and one black and white, giving you a better picture than s-video, composite or coax.

One more thing, it's still a Blu-ray player, even if you're watching 720p, connected via component.
