What is "magnavox"

Magnavox ( Latin for "great voice") is an American electronics company originally founded in the United States. Today it is a subsidiary of electronics corporation Philips.

Magnavox was founded in 1917 by Edwin Pridham and Peter L. Jensen, inventor of the moving-coil loudspeaker two years earlier at their lab in Napa, California. Magnavox later produced the Odyssey, the world's first home video game console.

Magnavox is currently the brand name worn by a line of products made by Funai under license from trademark owner Philips.
