If you will permit me to be pedantic for a moment, RCA itself is not a
French owned company.  (Actually, I'm not even sure that "RCA" even
*is* a company anymore; I think the name is the only remnant of a great
empire, and even that is owned by GE.)

The RCA name (as well as the GE name) is put on consumer electronics
products which are made by Thomson Consumer Electronics, which is the
French company in question.  Whether it is crap or not is for the
reader to decide.
