Receivers vs. separates?

Normal? I don't have a dog, so no, it wouldn't be normal for me. But yes, if a dog barked in my home it would be heard over most any system not turned up to ear bleeding levels.[/QUOTE]

Well thats what I was saying ---- if you dont HAVE a dog, how could it possibly apply to YOUR situation? LOL. But we have FOUR dogs, not just one, and while I try and keep them out of the home theater as much as possible (this room connects to the kitchen with no separating walls of any kind with any sound deadening materials), they manage to work their way in and bark their heads off somtimes and I can hear that over the DVD soundtrack----this would be considered "normal" then unless the system was turned up to ear bleeding levels?

Sounds like a problem that I can't help with. Doggie school can be expensive. Have you tried tranquilizer darts? LOL.
OOPPS, Sorry, couldn't help myself. I've been a baaaaad member today.

Aside from the darts, do you think, though, that it would be normal to hear these dogs barking over the DVD soundtrack when the levels are NOT at ear bleeding territory?

Yeah, you'd have to turn it up pretty darn loud to not hear a dog barking (times 4) in the next room. Sorry that you have to deal with that.

I'm talking about dogs barking IN the home theater room ITSELF......

Even worse. Maybe those tranqs are worth a second thought.

But what if they were just LITTLE dogs? Would that be normal?

Even worse than worse! Those little ankle biters can yelp so high and loud that your ears will run away and hind under a pillow in the back room.
