I have a durabrand tv model bh2004d and I'm trying to program a rca rcu404b remote but can't get it to work. Is the remote even capable of operating this tv? If so, what's the code I need to program the remote?

I bought a second hand Durabrand BH2004D. Then the problem started on finding a universal remote that could work on this tv. It was very fustrating the first day. Then I went to K-mart and bought the Sony RM-EZ4 universal remote. My god it worked, and it was only around ten bucks. The code that worked was 8081. Hopefully ill save someone the fustration that i went through.

Either Durabrand or Daewoo.

The code for GE universal remote for th Durabrand BH2004D is "0157"

When trying to program a universal remote for the BH2004D, try the codes that came with the universal remote for HAIER.

I took the remote back and purchased a sony remote and now it works perfectly

Your sets were made by a Japanese company named Funai.  No guarantee, but you might try any Sylvania, Emerson, Durabrand, Symphonic, or Funai codes listed.
If none of those work, remotes.com often has original remotes at inflated prices. 

I have been searching for a remote for this TV(Durabrand bh2004d) and found one that works. The X10 Platinum Model UR73A 5in1 remote. Best thing since sliced bread. I tried this remote out of desparation when all others would not work. I picked one up on ebay for about $10 including shipping. This remote has worked for changing the video mode(A-B).and all functions and also controls my directv box, so it will be the only one that I will need. Hoped this helped

how can i turn off av jack with out remote

For the GE Universal Remote (RC24991-b), 0157 works (for me) with this Durabrand model

I am not sure about Direct TV but dish network does not allow the hookup to go through their box...it must go through the TV only. Speaking with Duraband at 1-800-256-2487 confirms you have to have a Duraband remote and universals won't program to it. Ask for parts dept. and order a new remote. Sorry - not good news for me either!!!
