I don't recall if I ever got that, but I did see a bunch of feature options, and monkeyed around with it. Ever since then, it powers up with the volume muted, and a dancing remote graphic. It goes away after a bit, pressing vol+ or vol- gets rid of it too.

Yeah, there is an options list on most Philips TVs printed on a label by itself or on the inside cabinet layout label. This continued into the plasma and LCD era that Philips actually designed. Later Philips became Funai, but that's another story..
We had situations where the options would get corrupted. I recall several that had no sound and the serv bulletins would have us go in and enter the proper option codes.
