The Haunting and Terminator 2 DVDs, which I presume carry a Dolby Surround EX or DTS ES soundtrack are 6.1. I repeat, there are no DVDs (or DVD-As or SACDs) out there with a 7.1 soundtrack.

So again, unless the 950 has a 7.1 processing mode, the only way you'll get any use whatsoever out of the 950's 7.1 channel handling capability is if you have an external processor with a 7.1 mode, such as a Lexicon processor with Logic 7. But I really don't think there are many people out there who, if they buy a 950, are going to want to shell out the extra $$$ for an outboard processor.
