An audio-visual entertainment device includes an enclosed module which contains a video screen, audio speakers and seating for one or two viewers. Sensors respond to the presence of a viewer to change from an "attract mode" audio visual display to one that invites selection of an entertainment program from an inventory of programs. Upon payment of a "fee", the apparatus selects and displays the desired program. The program inventory is maintained on video disks which can be periodically replaced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS Turning first to FIG.
1, there is shown, in perspective view, a preferred embodiment of the audio video display booth 10 of the present invention.
A decorative peripheral upper panel 12 and a similar, decorative peripheral bottom panel 14 are supplied with illuminating elements 16.
An entry is formed in the side of the booth 10 that is defined by a sliding door panel 16 which, when opened, is retained in a pocket of a central peripheral wall panel 18.
A transparent plastic wall portion 20 is placed between the upper panel 12 and the central panel 18 and a second transparent wall portion 22 is placed between the central panel 20 and the bottom panel 14.
On the wall panel 18 adjacent the door panel 16 is placed a graphic display 24 which can include an attractive presentation of the subjects that are available for viewing.
The transparent upper wall portion 20 and lower wall portion 22 provide some sound isolation from the surrounding environment while permitting some exterior illumination.
More important, the transparent panels afford some measure of spaciousness to the occupants of the booth 10 and, to a certain extent, can avoid a potential for claustrophobia for the occupants.
With reference now to FIGS.
3, 4, and 5, the interior layout of the booth 10 can be described.
The door panel 16 moves from a recess in the right hand part of the booth 10 as seen from FIG.
3.
A door sensor 26 is provided to signal when the door is in the closed position.
In the preferred embodiment, a bench type, double seat 28 is provided, although in alternative embodiments, separated seats or individually contoured seats may be employed.
A control panel 30 is positioned to be easily accessible to a seated viewer.
The control panel 30 includes a display 32 of available selections and a key pad 34 enables the choice of one or more of them.
A separate volume control 36 enables the regulation of the volume of the audio portion of the presentation.
A coin or currency device 38 collects the appropriate charge for the play of one or more of the selections
