Note that the Quasar was at one time a -line- of color TV sets under the Motorola brand.
Later (mid-1970's) Motorola decided to get out of consumer electronics and sold their consumer electronics division (but not the Motorola name) to Matsushita, who used the Quasar name for the whole brand, B&W as well as color, radios as well as TV sets (in much the same manner as Chrysler used the Eagle name [originally one AMC model] for all of the AMC passenger cars after they acquired AMC).
With time, fewer products were sold as Quasar, as Matsushita's other brands (especially Panasonic) were seen as more attractive.
