│ WHAT IS A VIDEO NOTCH FILTER ? │
│ │
│ The pictures and sounds on your TV are carried there by signals. │
│ Each signal travels down it's own path, or channel. A notch filter │
│ is used to block the path of an unwanted signal. This prevents │
│ the signal from delivering its information to our TV screen. │
│ The filter acts as sort of an "Electronic Roadblock" to the │
│ unwanted signal, while allowing all others to pass freely. │
│ USES OF A NOTCH FILTER. │
│ (elimination of channels) │
│ │
│ This function is useful for parental censoring of Adult Channels. │
│ Even if scrambled by the cable company, they may be somewhat │
│ watchable. This is not the case when a notch filter is used. │
│ The notch filter may be used to block the path of an unwanted │
│ channel's signal. The signal then cannot carry its picture to the │
│ TV screen, and the channel is ELIMINATED. │
│ ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ │
│ TO ELIMINATE MILD OR SEVERE INTERFERENCE. │
│ ───────────────────────────────────────── │
│ Interference occurs when some unwanted signal gets into the │
│ path of the desired signal. As a result, both signals reach the │
│ TV screen. One carries the clear picture you want, but the other │
│ brings along unwelcome interference. A notch filter may be used │
│ to block the path of the unwanted signal, while allowing the │
│ desired signal to pass freely. As a result, the interference is │
│ removed and all you see is the clear picture. │
│ ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ │
│ ║ UNWANTED SIGNALS ║ │
│ ║ ║ │
│ ║ Unwanted signals may find their way into your TV in many ways. ║ │
│ ║ Some ways are unintentional. Ham Radio operators create them ║ │
│ ║ by using their radios quite by accident, and there are many other ║ │
│ ║ ways to introduce interference accidently. Sometimes interference ║ │
│ ║ is put in the path of a signal to block it, as we discussed earlier. ║ │
│ ║ In fact, your local cable company probably uses it to block certain ║ │
│ ║ channels they want you to pay additional money to receive (HBO, ║ │
│ ║ SHOWTIME, CINAMAX, ect). To remove this interference, they either ║ │
│ ║ install a NOTCH FILTER, or turn on the one in your converter box ║ │
│ ║ by remote control. ║ │
│ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │
│ THE LIMITATIONS │
│ │
│ Notch filters can do many good things, but there are limitations: │
│ 1) they can't fix every type of "interference". │
│ 2) It would be illegal to use them to remove the cable company's │
│ intentional interference ( Although they can!! ). │
│ THE TEST │
│ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ The filter CAN allow normal reception of a channel that is presently │ │
│ │ unwatchable if ... │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 1) There is an unusual pattern on the screen, which partially or │ │
│ │ completely hides the picture. │ │
│ │ 2) This pattern looks the same on the left half of the screen as it │ │
│ │ does on the right half, at all times (Zig zag lines or snow). │ │
│ │ 3) The patern is accompanied by an unusual sound. This sound may │ │
│ │ be a humming, buzzing, shrill, alternating, or garbled sound. │ │
│ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
│ HOW TO ORDER │
│ │
│ 1) Determine the channel number that you wish to block or clear. │
│ 2) Make sure it meets the requirements of the test or write or call │
│ us and describe what you see and hear on that channel, if you │
│ aren't sure.(See GUARANTEE) │
│ 3) Fill out the form below. │
│ 4) Add the charges in the columns on the right. │
│ 5) Mail the form along with a check or money order to the address at │
│ the top of the form.(Delivery in two weeks or less in most places) │
│ **** THE GUARANTEE **** │
│ IF FOR ANY REASON YOU AREN'T SATISFIED RETURN THE FILTER FOR A REFUND! │

│All filters are made from top quality parts and are tested before they are │
│shipped to you. I have ordered filters like mine from many other companys │
│and I found them all unacceptable, with only one acception, the picture was │
│grainy (bad). My filters deliver fantastic picture quality because I use │
│top quality parts in them. │
│ │
│NORMAL FILTERS- Are made with single turn fine tuning and high impact │
│plastic enclosures. Tuning instructions and tuning tool included. │
│ │
│DELUXE FILTERS- Are made with Air Dielectric tuning and multiple turn fine │
│tuning and high grade aluminum enclosures. Tuning instructions and tuning │
│tool included. │
│ │
│KITS- Include all parts including printed circuit board to assemble a NORMAL │
│FILTER. Tuning tool and instructions included. Some knowledge of basic │
│electronics (soldering) required. │
│ │
│PLANS- Includes a schematic and parts list. │
│ │
│TUNING TOOL- Basically a plasic screwdriver. (It's good to have a spare one)│
│ │
│ NOTE: │
│Filters work on one channel at a time and must be tuned for each new channel.│
│If you have a converter box (NOT A VCR) all you will need is F111. F111 will│
│clear multiple channels with a converter (IT WILL NOT WORK WITH A VCR!!!).│
│Using any tuning tool other than the CAT# T1 may result in damage to the │
│filter. │
