Definitive Technology C/L/R 2002 Manuel utilisateur
Please Inspect For Shipping Damage
Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or
concealed damage most likely occurred in handling after it left our
plant and should be reported at once to your Definitive dealer or the
shipping company which delivered your loudspeaker.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Definitive Technology C/L/R
2002 Shielded Center/Left/Right Audio Video Loudspeaker System.
This revolutionary loudspeaker utilizes state-of-the-art components
(cast basket homopolymer-coned bass-midrange drivers, moving coil
ferrofluid-cooled dome high frequency radiators, uniphase crossover
networks, etc.), a non-resonant monocoque cabinet and low diffrac-
tion construction in order to achieve the most lifelike sound possible
in your listening room for many years to come.
The Definitive Technology C/L/R 2002 is a compact high definition
loudspeaker system designed for use in audio/video systems of the
highest quality. Because of its low profile, wide range, high power
handling and articulate clarity,it is ideal for use as a center channel in
conjunction with all surround sound decoding systems, including
Dolby Pro-Logic, Dolby AC-3, and DTS. In addition, the C/L/R 2002
is ideal for use as a left and right main speaker in all surround sound
decoding systems, including Dolby Pro-Logic, Dolby AC-3, and
DTS, or as the main speakers in a high quality stereo system.

Normal Operation
It is critical for proper performance that all speakers (left, right and center) be con-
nected in proper phase. Each C/L/R 2002 is equipped with two sets of terminals in
order to facilitate bi-wiring or bi-amping should you so desire. One set of terminals,
marked “high,” is connected to the high frequency crossover and drivers of the sys-
tem. The other set, marked “low,” is connected to the low frequency crossover and dri-
vers of the system. In normal operation there will be a jumper connecting the two red
(+) terminals and a jumper connecting the two black (-) terminals on the crossover.
With the jumpers in place, simply connect either of the red (+) terminals of each
speaker to the red (+) terminal of its channel on your amplifier or receiver, and either of
the black (-) terminals of each speaker to the black (-) terminal of its channel on your
amplifier or receiver. It is essential that all speakers be connected in the same way to the
amplifier (in phase). If you experience a great lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is
out of phase with the other.
Bi-Wire Operation
The concept of bi-wiring is that higher sonic performance (greater inner detail,
higher definition, increased transparency, and improved depth) is achieved by utilizing
two sets of wires to connect each loudspeaker to its channel of your amplifier or
receiver. One set is connected to the high frequency crossover and drivers (marked
“high”) and the other set is connected to the low frequency crossover and drivers
(marked “low”). If you choose this method of operation, remove both sets of jumpers
from each crossover before connecting the speakers to your amplifier or receiver. Take
care to ensure that both red (+) terminals of each speaker are connected to the red (+)
terminal of the appropriate channel of your amplifier using one conductor of each of
the two sets of wires for each channel, and that both black (-) terminals of each speaker
are connected to the black (-) terminal of its appropriate channel of your amplifier
using the other conductor of each of the two sets of wires for each channel. Please bear
in mind that using different types of cables for the low and high frequency hookups
may alter the frequency balance of the loudspeaker as intended by the designer. This
may, however, be to your liking if you prefer your speakers brighter or less bright
sounding. Using a heavier gauge (lower resistance) wire on the low frequency section
and a lighter gauge (higher resistance) wire on the high frequency section will result in
a less bright sound, while switching the wires will result in a brighter sound.
Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven at loud lev-
els, it is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier too loud and not driving
the speakers with more power than they can handle. Remember, most ampli-
fiers put out their full rated power well before the volume control is turned all
the way up! If your speakers distort when you play them loud, turn down the
amplifier or get a bigger one.
Your C/L/R 2002s should sound good right out of the box; however, an extended
break-in period of 20-40 hours or more of fairly loud playing is required to reach full
performance capability. Break-in allows the suspensions to work in and results in fuller
bass, a more open “blossoming” midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.

The C/L/R 2002 is supplied with brass inserts designed to go into the bottom of the
speaker to hold adjustable feet which hold the speaker above the surface it is placed on
as well as give you the option of angling the speaker up or down to point directly at the
listeners. Install three of these inserts in the bottom of the speakers. There are predrilled
holes on the bottom of the speaker under the grill cloth (when the speaker is positioned
horizontally). Simply locate the holes. Two holes are approximately 2'' back from the
front and 12'' apart. You also have a choice for the rear hole depending on the depth of the
surface you will place the speaker on. One is located farther back than the other. Select
one of these holes. Gently tap the inserts in through the grill cloth and screw the feet in.

The C/L/R 2002, when used singly for center channel use, can be placed horizon-
tally or vertically above or below the TV. When used as center channel pairs, the
C/L/R 2002s should be placed on either side of the TV, or above and below it.

The C/L/R 2002 is a high quality, full-range speaker system which, in addition to
its use as a center channel in home theater systems, can also be used as a left and right
main speaker in all home theater systems as well as conventional two channel audio
systems. When the C/L/R 2002 is used as a left and right main speaker, it may be
positioned either vertically or horizontally.
Service and warranty work on your Definitive loudspeakers will normally be per-
formed by your local Definitive Technology dealer. If, however, you wish to return the
speaker to us, please contact us first, describing the problem and requesting authorization
as well as the locations of the nearest factory service center. Please note that the address
given in this booklet is the address of our offices only. Under no circumstances should
loudspeakers be shipped to our offices or returned without contacting us first and
obtaining return authorization.

Because the C/L/R 2002 can be used either vertically or horizontally, the logo is sup-
plied separately. Holes are provided for installation when the speaker is used horizontal-
ly. These are located under the grill cloth at the center of the lower edge at the front of
the speaker approximately 11/16'' up from the edge and 1 1/2'' apart. Locate the logo
over these two holes and gently tap it in through the grill cloth.
