===== Hidden service menu =====

There is an hidden menu from which you can control several technical settings of the TV set. Beware that messing-up with that settings can render the device non-functional!

To access the service menu - starting with the TV in standby mode - press the following keys on the remote control:

  - **Info**
  - **Menu**
  - **Mute**
  - **Power**

In the service menu use the following keys of the remote:

^ Up/Down arrow      | Move the cursor through menu items.  |
^ Enter/Right arrow  | **Select** (activate) the highlighted menu item.  |
^ Left/Right arrow   | **Change** option value.  |
^ Return             | Go back to previous menu.  |

Each setting is save as you select it and return to the previous menu. Just press **Power** to restart the TV with the new settings.
===== Playing videos (DivX, XviD, etc.) =====

The firmware of the LE32D400E does not play **videos** from the USB port, just **photos** and **music**. It's quite a shame and I don't know why such self-imposed limit. Fortunately you can trick the TV into thinking that it is another model, capable of videos playing. This does not require a firmware upgrade and it seems to work without any drwaback.

Enter the service menu, look at the model, you see the original value is **LE32D400E**.

From the **Option** menu, select **Model** option and change it from **LD400E** to **LD450**. Return to the main menu, you can see that the model is now **LE32D450**. Torn off the TV with the power key, and turn it on again.

There are 94 different models available from the menu, I choosed LD450 and it worked. If you select other models you can find something wrong in the menus; e.g. with LD552 (which also works for videos) you see several non existent HDMI ports in the source menu.

I was able to play DIV3 and DX50 (DivX) and MPEG videos with MP2, MP3 and AC3 audio in AVI container, I did not tried other codecs or containers.
