No CVR transcription... Too bad, that would have been interesting to get a better understanding of these statements:

The co-pilot intended to disconnect the autopilot at 600 ft
and

The co-pilot initially believed he had disconnected the autopilot at the intended height on the approach in order to carry out a manual landing on Runway 27L [...] he was distracted and thus omitted to disconnect the autopilot
So the report mentions the succession of a "disconnection intent" followed by an "initial belief" which finally happened to be an "omission". I'm quite disappointed as I was expecting more information on the crew's management of this unusual situation.
