Can I damage my amp and/or pre amp if I...


I just upgraded my system from a receiver to components. After hemorraging all my money, I find I am wanting for a tuner for FM. My question is, until I can afford a tuner, can I take the FM signal out of my former receiver, a Yamaha R9, and send it to the pre without damaging any of the components involved? There is a "Record Out" selector switch on the R9 that will direct a source signal from a CD or phono, for example, to a tape deck. Can I cable from the "Rec Out" jacks of the receiver to inputs at the pre amp after setting the "Rec Out" switch to "Tuner"?
Any help about this would be greatly appreciated. If there is another way to get an FM signal from my old tuner, please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Actually, if the waffer valve is stuck open on the preamp when you connect the tuner via the record output jacks of the receiver, you might burn out the muffler bearings. If that happens, say goodbye to the permeated substances inside the thingamabob or what-cha-majigger. You'll never get them to operate properly after that point unless you install new skyhooks. This can be pretty expensive, especially if you find someone that knows what you are talking about : ) Sean
