the picture they have be wrong , if you enter the product on sony 's website , they have the correct picture . it look better than the one in amazon 's picture . a lot of people complain about the wire length . for I , I have the reciever towards the center of my room , and the rear speaker wire be more than long enough . the front speaker wire be almost too short , but I make it work , and the subwoofer wire length be perfect . for my bedroom , this be more than adequate . I have a home theater setup with a projector and this sound system . the bass be enough too shake my room , and hear from outside . the surround work great , and the color code speaker wiring be very easy to set up , as I be only 13 , and have no problem . I have it hook up to a xbox via optical audio cable , and I test it out with 5.1 surround sound netflix movie , as well as Modern Warfare 3 , and it sound amazing . you can feel all the shake and rumble like you really in the game ! -lrb- or movie -rrb- . absoloutely worth the 185 $
