+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 **LD552**. Return to the main menu, you can see that the model is now **LE32D552**.
+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.
