Did you read the posts I linked in the message to which you replied?  
The first has the exact steps you need to set up your PVR-x50 to record 
from a VCR.

The only differences are that, if you really are connecting the 
RF-modulated output of the VCR to the PVR-x50's tuner input (a 
configuration that will give you the worst-possible quality), you would 
set the "Preset tuner to channel" to 3 or 4, whichever you've selected 
on your VCR.  Again, using the RF-modulated output of the VCR as an 
input to the PVR-x50's tuner will give you the worst-possible quality.  
It is not a good plan.
