Can it be sucessfully upgraded and to what level?It has THX and the latest version update.Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks

First up forget about any further upgrade and I would not worry about lusting after an MC1. Dolby pro logic can be quite effective although I must admit PLII is a major improvement on what the CP3 has (and note the MC1 does not sport PLII).I had a CP3 for awhile and it was moderately effective at giving artificial ambience through rear speakers BUT do not expect too much from it.
For starters I suggest you try using it as a processor on your front and rears. If you find it messes up the stereo sound (most likely) then use a feed out from your preamp to offer audio for the rears only. You can then turn it off when the rear signal irritates.
For its time it was a most sophisticated unit but this area of electronics has progressed dramatically in the last few years. But as a freebie, what have you got to lose? Have fun experimenting.
