Stereo in 2011 Sabre RETS-6

Does anyone know what brand of stereo is in the 2011 Sabre RETS-6? I cannot find anything that has the brand name and we did not get a book on it with all the other paperwork. I have asked the dealer and he said all they get is a 1 page start up guide.
Also can anyone tell me how to get to the back of this? I cannot figure out how to get the front cover off or how to get in behind it, I want to try to run the tv through the stereo and have sound thru the whole trailer.
Thank you

I have 2012 Sabre 31 RETS and it has a Concertone ZX700 in it. I don't know if they changed between 2011 and 2012. I also got the one page quick start but I also got a Operations guide with all the other paper work. Do a search there is a concertone rep on this forum he may be able to answer you questions better. In my book there is a Customer Service # 574-534-3167 for concertone. If I can help in any way PM me. It doesn't tell you in the book how to remove the cover.

If it is the blue concertone ZX690, the cover pulls off and is just held on by plastic clips. Takes a pretty good pull to get it off. You can then access the screws holding it in.

I have tried the aux, asked the dealer and he said that the tv is not connected to the stereo.
I found the Concertone website and according to their site I have the ZX690

I posted the wrong number above. I have the ZX690 and it will play the TV sound.

Once I get the faceplate off and can get to the back maybe I can figure out why mine doesnt work.
So far my dealer has been good with other things just not been much help with the stereo.

On mine the ZX690 must be turned to input "AU2". On the back of the TV you should see the audio connection which is below the other connections and marked "audio out". On mine they used a clear cable with gold wires with a red and white RCA connector. The cable then goes through a wall plate and down to the ZX690. Once you pop the cover off the ZX690, you can remove the screws and pull it out. It has several audio inputs on the back. On mine one of the cables was damaged on one of the inputs so I plugged it into another spare input "AU2" - so yours could be on a different input. Since it had spare inputs I figured why bother with warranty to fix the one input.
