Anonymous Posted on Apr 17, 2012

I have a 32LD450 LG TV it will only show picture or music options from usb no movies??

I have looked in the manual and it says that the tv is able to read movies off a usb. Maybe it is connected to what format the movie is in?

LG 32D450 LCD TV doesn't support video playback from usb. The USB 2.0 input of this particular model can only read jpeg format (photo/snaps) and MP3 format for music playback. please click the link below and see the technical specification and USB input.. http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-32LD450-lcd-tv

You need to activate it first, here are the steps:

1. Press the enter(OK) both on the remote and the TV at the same time...hold for about 5 seconds
2. Password - 0000
3. Go to tool option 3
4. Change Jpeg to 1
5. Change Divx to SD or HD
6. Exit and try it out.
You will notice that now there are 8 inputs in the option list instead of 6 - Including a USB input.


Hope this helps

SOURCE: Trying to connect an ipod to LG plasma tv via USB

Hey - I'm in the same boat, did you get it working? I connect and get the USB menu up, but the tv says that the file is corrupt, even though the iPod works fine when it's not connected to the tv.

How do I connect to USB on Sinotec 42inch. I found the port but I can't find USB options on the screen

you posted to computer help for TV? why not post to TV?
best , always is RTM read the manual no 2 TV work exactly the same. (nor did tell what you expect of that USB port?)
the post lacks the real and full Sinotec model number on that sticker on the rear, so getting the exact manual proves impossible.
so ill read the first one to you.
quote Page 21 in 1st manual I find on this brand,
TVs are no like Computers in the way USB is more predictable.
TVs love to fail, for wrong for formats. (fat32, or ntfs or?)
My guess's (wild) is a movie file is on a USB memory stick.?
I can put any movie.mkv on my stick plug it in and use it.
it shows up on TV as and INPUT device.



Notes about using USB

= Before using this function, make sure that you select the correct source (USB) and insert a USB storage device on

the TV to view compatible photo, movie and text on the TV screen or play compatible music through the TV.

= If the connected USB HDD does not have an external power source, it may not be detected. Be sure to connect the

external power source.

= To avoid losing the data on your USB device or damaging your USB device, it is recommended that you back up your USB

device data.

= The USB multi media playing menu may vary in different situations.

= If you want to pull out the USB device, please exit USB mode first.

= For instructions on using your USB device, refer to the owner's manual for your USB device.

= Never remove the USB device or turn off the TV while using the USB device. Doing so may result in loss of data and/or

damage to the USB device and/or TV.
= Certain types of USB devices may not be compatible with this TV.
page 21 also shows hitting USB button on remote (lost that?)o
and see photos on a USB or a movie. Photos , movie or text it tells.

here is my wild guess on the model.
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/918457/Sinotec-St-29me70h1.html?page=23#manual


the TV has multimedis player inside, this works for USB.
page 26 covers what movie FILE formats work.
format the usb stick as Fat32 is one safe first guess and try.
good luck with using USB. (the manuals on TV are very very limited on (what it needs to work right)on this TOPIC.
one poster back 2014 this brand
tells. supports fat16/32,and NTFS. and JPG,PMP and PNG photos. and what page 26 tells you,.

My TV has port for USB I plugged in my USD with movies but it is only giving me options for pictures & Music, what am I doing wront. It lists the movie titles but does not show

Hi,
First of all find the manual for your tv.There are lots of tv which are cable only to show and play pictures and music and will not be able to play movie files. may be the tv you have cames in the same category. Also you have to check the format of the movies in the usb. Also check in the manual that if your tv is able to play movies from usb, then what should be the format. Here i have added a link where you will be able to find the manual of almost all the tvs. as you didnt mentioned any thing about the brand and model number of your tv its not possible to add the exact ling to the manual.

I cant play movies using my USB drive on my Samsung LCD tv model LA40D503F7R. Movies option on screen is not displaying, only music and pictures option is displaying

Nope, you certainly can't. The TV can only show still photos or play music. It's not capable of playing videos.

The manual is here:
http://www.samsung.com/ae/support/model/LA40D503F7RXZN
or
2011 LA40D503F7R 40 Inch Full HD LCD TV LA40D503F7RXZN Support SAMSUNG Gulf
See pages 16 and 17.

Burn your movies to DVD or Blu-Ray and you can plug a player into the TV, also described in the manual.

My lg lcd tv 32CS410 has an usb port but only recognises photo and music. I would like to be able to play movies using the usb. Is this possible and if so how??

That's not possible as the TV would need software to decode and play the video. That model of LG TV isn't listed as being a "smart" tv that can play video files. You may have to look into a separate box that can play movie files like a Roku or an AppleTV

HELLO, I've just bought LG 32LD450 tv and have no idea how to switch freeview. This tv supposed to be with freeview already, but I've checked my manual and can not find it. Could you please help me.

Do you mean free over the air HD?? If so hook up a UHF antenna to the ATSC connection on your tv and you will be able to receive all over the air broadcast HD tv signals in your area for free.

Hope that was answer you were looking for - if not please be more specific in your description
