I see that people also purchase something called an HDMI cable. Is this required for operation?

It is a TV connector. If your TV has the RED/White/Yellow plus, the you can connect with that. The HDMI cable gives HI def for the 1080flat screen TVs.

Do i need c2g/ cable or hdmi???

HDMI Cable, but buy the Sony instead. This player was defective when I got it, cutting in and out on sound. Too much trouble to return.

I just want to play DVD-RW's I burned. I have an older TV with the 3 cable connection. No need for scanning. Will this one still work for what I want?

That is what I purchased this Panasonic. I am thinking of finding something else. What I did not know was that this has no lights to indicate if the disc is playing, and it has no digital numerical readout to indicate song time and number. Also, it will not play certain discs that I have made a label with my disc labeler...the paper makes the disc too thick and it freaks out. I have to say it has a good sound. I am playing it through a 50 watt per channel mini digital amp and listening on small Celestion 2 way speakers.
