The LX-200 was definitely a low end model but not in same vein of being a total piece of junk.
When it came out, it was one of two models that Panasonic had released (the other being the high end LX-1000) and both had a pretty much identical chassis (which is why it was not junk since it had the same chassis as the 1000). The exception between the two models was that the 1000 had the digital field memory circuit for CLV special effects (including the jog-shuttle control) and a nifty flip door that hid extra controls. Both units were auto-reverse.
A few months to a year later, Panasonic then released the LX-101 which was their first single side play CD/LD player which in my opinion was a very well built machine (I had one for awhile and sort of regret letting it go) for an entry level piece.
