Daisy Chaining- Yamaha S-701 and Mitsubishi DA10dc Amp/Mitsubishi Da-P20 Preamp

Without a tape-out on the Yamaha it won't work! That's strange! Even all the old Jap receivers had tape-out jacks! Are you sure you haven't overlooked the tape-out jacks?

Definitely strange! I just see the tuner, phono, CD, and the 3 line inputs. Here is the back of the Yamaha S701 for reference:

Take a look at page 9 in the owners manual!
