    It appears that the Denon PMA-700V is an integrated amp, so the answer to your question is no.

    Sorry about F1's response. He is in error.

    You can take the Pre out from your 2105 and go into one of the four audio inputs on your PMA-700V. You will be able to control volume from the 2105's remote.

    Here are some pics

    What benefit do you hope to gain by this daisy-chaining process ? Is there something in the integrated amp that is lacking in the receiver ? Both units are equally matched power-wise, so there is not going to be any noticeable increase in loudness. That takes twice as much power or a 3dB increase. Now, if the amp were at least 200 W.P.C. or more, and you really needed the extra power, the exercise would be worthwhile.
