“There is an eARC HDMI port on the back (enhanced Audio Return Channel), but it shows what looks like an "input" symbol next to it. Isn't an eARC HDMI port used exclusively for audio OUTPUT to an external device? Will this eARC port work for audio output?”

The HDMI (ARC) port is the one you would use to connect to your Home theater amplifier. The other TWO HDMI ports should be used to connect the Cable Box, Blu-ray player, or any other VIDEO SOURCE directly to the TV. The Home Theater Receiver can be used to support any Blue Tooth INPUT audio streaming devices and Chromecast devices by connecting them to your Home Theater Receiver's HDMI ports. The Smart TV's Blu-tooth capability will handle your output audio devices (sound bars and ear buds) NOTE: you may have to spend some time carefully reconfiguring your amplifier ports for proper sound and or video routing to and from the TV
