You can do so on some units

196.2.56.16

The 870 and the older 880's are able to use cheap media , you insert a consumer audio only disc in the machine , let it do its thing re calibration and finding the 1 bit CA only code , then you manually open the drawer and insert a cheapy media , manually push the drawer closed , record and finalise. The later models came out with a door open detector which doesnt allow this , however one can probably bypass this and rig up a battery operated electrical door opener/closer with power applied to the drawer motor (most likely +-5v) This alos applies to older pioneer machines (the power drawer opening thing) and the bait and switch trick might work on some older marantz machines.
