The term "video" does not identify what the device is. Video applies to video, whether it's on VHS, DV camcorder, a mini-movie from a digicam, DVD, VCD, SVCD, Divx, etc. Regardless of the TV commercials that say "Order it now on Video or on DVD" They're misusing the term, so refer to it as a VCR if that's what it is, and I think that's what you mean. Not your fault, but that's a pet peeve of mine ...much like the DVD writer vendors and media vendors who started advertising that their single-layer media capacity is 4.7GB when it's not and never has been

You need something to remove macrovision between the source and the E50 inputs.

Use a timebase corrector, or another cheaper device like a "clarifier" or "stabilizer". Warning: Only a TBC will guarantee that you won't degrade the source. The other devices are merely filters and they filter some of the video out and introduce artifacts. Some render the video almost unwatchable.
