Philips CD620 Phone Output - High Volume

[GJW]

Hi. I recently acquired a Philips CD620 which surprisingly, works perfectly except the phone output volume is very high to the point of being uncomfortable to listen to. I have looked inside and cannot see any signs of modifications; all appears to be stock standard. I will modify to lower the phone output but would like to know whether or not this is normal for a CD620.

Is it connected to phono input at the amp perhaps?

No. The CD player is not connected to an amp.

Volume pot faulty ?

The service manual for this player says it´s a fixed headphone output. That is, no volume control built into the player. PM me your E-mail adr. and I will send you the service manual if you want it.
