Aahhh....an integrated amp, eh...
...and some older gear...I'll hazard a guess there are no manuals to look at...
Anyway, as I earlier suggested, those connections will get you up and running, now for the integrated...not much diff power-wise between the receiver and the integrated(26Wpc vs. 30)...in a stereo system it's not really required, however if you to plan on using it for rear channels or another room, you could feed the remaining "tape out" from the receiver to the "aux" of the integrated...that will give you volume and tone controls in a "rear channel"/ "zone two" set-up...if you plan to bi-amp your front speakers, you can by-pass the vol and tone controls and wire directly to the integrated's "power-in" jacks...many possible connections, it all depends on your plans...you could even build a second, independent system around it...all depends...
