Using an AV amp as a preamp?

Is it possible to use an AV amp as a preamp? I will soon acquire a Kenwood Basic M1 power amp and will need a preamp. I have an old Sharp AV amp and it has Tape Out and Video Out - can one of these be used as a preamp Out, since there is no dedicated Preamp Out on the Sharp?

Seriously, I have no life.

Since it doesn't have a set of dedicated preamp output jacks, no. The Tape, Video and adapter (if it has this) out jacks are fixed and you;ll have no way to control the volume.
