Making the 1999 Panasonic TV line-up's 100 percent V-chip compliance all the more impressive is the fact that it was achieved without the addition of a price premium to any model in the new TV line. Also of note, the freestanding Panasonic set-top digital decoder will be equipped in 2000 with special V-chip circuitry necessary for responding to content information in digital TV broadcasts. Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company (PCEC) is a division of Matsushita Electric Corporation of America (MECA). MECA is the principal North American subsidiary of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., (MEI) (NYSE: MC) of Japan, one of the world's largest producers of electronic and electric products for consumer, business and industrial use.
