MD: Are MD decks preamplified?

[Sciamano Nerazzurro]

Sorry if the question is stupid, but I'm a complete ignorant on the subject.
Are MD decks pre-amplified?
Can I connect one to my 8-years old Pioneer AP-510 amplifier (I only have
left a "phono" input, and a "Vcr/Dat" input).

The fact is that I tried to connect my R55 to the VCR/DAT input, but the
sound that resulted was too low and distorted. So I was wondering if I could
buy a deck (I saw the MDS-S39) and connect it to the amp...

Any help appreciated!

-> otherwise I'll have to buy a new stereo!! :-(
