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!

Disassembly and Reassembly
3-4 CRT Removel
Fig. 3-5
1. Spread a soft mat on the floor. Place the TV set face down. 2. Remove the 4 nuts mounting the CRT to the front cabinet. 3. Lift the CRT. 4. Caution: Because of the high vacuum and large surface area of the picture tube, be careful while handling it: (1) Always lift the picture tube by grasping it firmly around the faceplate, (2) Never lift the tube by its neck. (3) Do not scratch the picture tube or apply excessive pressure. Fractures of the glass may cause an implosion.
