The 950 does not have any modes along the lines of 'stadium', 'jazz', etc. (which tend to sound pretty 'synthetic' anyway). The available modes are useful for expanding in the instance of CDs, the soundfield to encompass all of your speakers, including surrounds. There is a 'stereo 5' and 'stereo 7' mode. I like the DTS Neo 6 cinema (for stereo DPL films, and satellite TV) and DTS Neo6 music for CDs. They both work extremely well for me when I use them. You must have your center speaker "on" in the speaker config menu in order for some of the surround modes to work however.
