Hello. I was recently given a Pioneer 5.1 receiver as a gift (link to the web page below).

Before I was given this, I have been using my Kanto YU2 studio monitors w/ a subwoofer (using the YU2's sub out) as a daily driver for both games and music via USB. The left speaker is active and the right one is passive.

I was wondering if there is a way to use these two speakers as the left and right channels on the receiver without breaking them. Ideally I would like these to be the left and right speakers for a 5.1 system. I have spare passive center/rear left/rear right speakers that work properly with this receiver by the way.

>>>>>TL;DR<<<<<

How can I safely incorporate Kanto YU2 powered speakers into a 5.1 system with a Pioneer VSX-523 receiver?
 
Solution
As these are 'active' speakers, there really is no way to connect them as the front L&R speakers, because the A/V has no line-level output for the front L&R channels 1 & 2.

13thmonkey is quite right, and that will work if you want to use the speakers in pure stereo mode, but in answer to your question: "Ideally I would like these to be the left and right speakers for a 5.1 system" it would not be possible.
