How can I get the digital display to work on PHILIPS VR-540 6 HEAD NICAM VC?

The digital display shows what channel is being taped, or what channel was last taped. It will not show the time. It won't roll round when the tape is being fast forwarded or rewound, which is a real nuisance as I have to keep stopping the tape and playing it to see the on-screen display so I know how far it's got?

download the manual from the philips website -solution ought to be there.
probably a button on remote like "display" "disp" "OSD" "CLK/COUNT" etc.
