How do I set the Harmony to turn on (& control) my VCR and DVD without "changing my activity"? Often I will want to revind a tape after veiwing it or cue up my DVD while watching TV.

I think you can do this in several ways. Here are 2 ways:
1) You can program the activity so the "Control Mode" menu show all your devices. Devices whish are not "member" to the activity, show under "Other devices". You do this by add this XML-code in the XML for the activity (these 6 lines should be inside <CONFIGURATOR>-section):
<OPTIONS>
<OPTION>
<NAME>ShowAllDevices</NAME>
<VALUE>True</VALUE>
</OPTION>
</OPTIONS>

2) You can add the divices directly to the activity. You do this by "walking" through the activity wizard in adanced mode:
- First you enter advanced mode by clicking advanced at "homepage" and then clicking advanced button on the midel of the next page
- Click on your activity.
- Then go to run the setup wizard again for the activity.
- Click on ADVANCED at the bottom.
- Follow that through to where it asks if you want to add another device to the activity and select your devices (VCR and DVD) as Passthrough.
- Finish up, the added devices will power up and down with the activity, and you will find menues for both VCR and DVD in "Control Mode".

Hope this help
