-Change model to **LE32D552**+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.

 +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.
