I found a solution to the distortion experienced when using the source bypass button on the Herc to play regular CDs on CDJs here in this blog courtesy of cioce:

Only thing is it does not go too much in depth. Anyone ever used this method before? If i have 2 CDJs how many resistors do i need? also, where do they go and how do they connect? sorry if this is basic stuff but i'm not very knowledgeable with electric engineering and the like. I have a party coming up Sat. and really need t be able to play CDs w/o having to rewire my mixer and Herc. Here's my setup specs and thanks for any help!
HP Pavillion dv9000 (Core 2 Duo @ 2Ghz, 2 Gigs Memory, Vista Home Premiuim)
Herc MK2
2 CDJ1000 MK3
1 DJM800
VDJ 4.3 w/ TCCDs

Hi mest42085,
i already told you that i making a tutorial.....
i repeat...
you need 4 trimmer(not fixed resistor)
channel left and right cdj1
channel left and right cdj2

Sweet! Really looking forward to your tutorial. went into the store today and was not sure which part i needed (there are resistors, potentiometers, and audio trimmers at different wattages) and how or where I would even attach them.

components required:
-4 trimmers value 4,7K(it's better multiturn trimmer)
-1 meter of shield cable
-8 male rca connectors (4 black, 4 red)
-multi hole pcb(pcb for sperimental assembling)
You can also use a "multi hole" pcb to soldering the trimmers and to get a more stable assembling.
Don't worry about the wattage of trimmer becuse we're working in bf that is low
signal.
After you have assembled this device you have to regulate the trimmer to get
the right level and equal for each channel.
i'll do a special wav or mp3 to burn an a cd that help you to make that regulation.
REMEMBER, WE ARE NOT RESPONSABLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR EQUIPMENT!!
if you're not pratics, ask help to a friends or other that he is more pratics with soldering and assembling.

Awesome moramax, thanks for the help! I also figured out another way to achieve what i want to do without having to modify my equipment. If you have a mixer which accepts digital coaxial inputs (like DJM800) then you can just run the cdjs to these inputs on channels 1 and 2 of the DJM. then, run your regular (red & white) audio cables to whatever soundcard you're using for timecodes. run the corresponding outputs to channels 3 and 4 of your mixer and you're in business. the first two channels can then be used for regular cds and 3 & 4 for timecodes!
