Once again owner-manual.com has saved the day for me, and come through with the manual I need. I looked other places too, and couldn't find it anywhere. Thank You owner-manual.com!!! You're the BEST!
The service manual is really great - thanks to it I was able to install the laser unit and thus "save" my CD-player, which seemed to be impossible before I had the manual.
This site is working fine! Did buy a manual for SX-EX25L and after a while I could download it and fix the problem. Nice and easy!

Pin No. 37 38 39 40 41 42
Pin Name HFL SLOF CV-
I/O O
Description The HFL (high frequency level) signal is used to judge whether the main beam is positioned on the pit or on the mirror.
I I
Sled servo off control input. CLV error signal input from the DSP. RF output. Sets the RF gain and the EFM singal's 3T compensation constant togther with the
CV+ RFSM RFSO O RFSM pin. The SLC (slice level control) signal is output to control the DSP's data slice level of the
O RF waveform. I O I O I I I I O I +search with respect to the reference voltage). (Not connected) O O I VCC of servo and digital circuits. For the connection of bypass capacitor for the reference voltage. Reference voltage output. Sets the time constant for disc defect detection. For the connection of a capacitor to hold the RF signal peak. For the connection of a capacitor to hold the RF signal bottom. APC circuit output. APC circuit input. VCC of RF signal circuits. Input to control the DSP's data slice level. Ground of digital signals. Output for the focus search smoothing capacitor. The TBC (tracking balance control) signal sets the EF balance variation range. Not connected. Disc defect detection output. Reference clock input. 4.23 MHz is input from the DSP. Microprocessor command clock input. Microprocessor command data input. Microprocessor chip enable input. DRF (detect RF) is an output to detect the RF level. The FSS (focus search select) signal switches the focus search modes (+/-search /
