NOTE
The SIDE VOLUME level is set to play CDs that have 
low overall volume at a sufficient volume level. For this 
reason, some CDs that have a loud overall volume may 
sound distorted when played back through the amp's 
speakers or attached headphones at a high level. If this 
happens, please adjust the SIDE VOLUME to stop the CD 
sound from distorting.
