Panasonic is a JVC trade name. They're quite good parts actually.

Think that's the wrong way round. Panasonic is owned by Matsu****a, who
took over JVC in the '50s.

The plot thickens.

I always assumed Panasonic was the premium brand of Matsu****a. They are
or were heavily into the broadcast market. MII was the rival to Sony
Betacam, and arguably of better quality - so the VHS/Beta situation got
reversed there as Betacam was by far more popular.


You're definitely right about Panasonic being a Matsu****a brand now that I
come to think of it.

National and technics too.

JVC invented VHS though.
