In order to answer your question we need to know what the receiver is. A small number (now vintage?) would allow a link to be removed allowing the separation of pre amp section from power amp section. However I am only aware of this facility for certain stereo not multichannel components. So to connect this AV pre would lose the whole multichannel point of the Marantz 7702.
My advice is to either buy a multi channel amp (if MCH is what you want) or write down your mistake to experience and sell it.

You can connect the out of the pre pro to say the aux in put if there are no pre out main in jumpers. It will work. The disadvantage is the signal is routed through the pre section too, an unneeded gain stage. Its not like connecting to a receiver even with main in is that good anyway.

OP, what Awe-d-o-phile says is correct.
However if you are connecting the output of one pre into the input of another pre then the sound you get will only be as good as the worse of the two pre's at best. I suspect that the receiver will be the worse of the two ( why else would you have bought another pre?) so you may as well just use the receiver. Adding the Marantz will not give you any advantage but will give you some disadvantage e.g. additional connections and more circuitry than you need, both of which will degrade the sound.
But it seems just getting sound is the objective or he wouldn't be using a receiver. Time for a multichannel amp...
Good stereo is my thing no MCH or HT in my house
