Magnavox (Latin for "great voice") (stylized as MAGNAVOX) is an American electronics company founded in the United States. Since 1974 it is a subsidiary of Dutch electronics corporation Philips.
The predecessor to Magnavox was founded in 1911 by Edwin Pridham and Peter L. Jensen, co-inventors of the moving-coil loudspeaker at their lab in Napa, California under United States Patent number 1,105,924 for telephone receivers.[1] Six decades later, Magnavox produced the Odyssey, the world's first home video game console toy.
Magnavox is the brand name worn by a line of products now made by Funai under license from trademark owner Philips
