Panasonic and JVC were never owned by the same company. JVC was the originator of the VHS format. Panasonic and others had to pay for the rights to build VHS units. You're right that the newer Panasonics were poor at tracking. I found that a tape made on a newer Panasonic wouldn't play properly on another machine and vice-versa.
