I was 4 years old, listening to a record on headphones connected to this rig. Leaned too far back, and caught the 1/4 inch input jack on the headphones right in my fucking eyeball.

Yeah, I’m not sure why they’d tell you to plug a set top box into that.
It works as an input too, but if you run something like Netflix from the TV app, that’s where the audio output from it goes.
Personally I run it all into the AVR, and from there to the TV, because I’ve got an older ARC set. ARC was limited to older DVD-era audio formats like stereo PCM, DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 (with the limited Atmos support). More modern sets have eARC which supports all the fancier Blu-ray-era formats, DTS-MA, Dolby TrueHD & Atmos, and 7.1 PCM. All the major streaming services use the older formats though, so most people won’t notice any difference.
