What’s the difference between this and the 383 model?

All 5 of the channels take banana plugs as input in the 385. 3 channels are direct speaker wire in the 383

When playing music in stereo, does the unit drive the subwoofer along with the two front speakers?

There is only a pre amp output for subwoofer so you need to have a powered subwoofer. A non powered subwoofer would not be able to be connected.

Do I need to use an optical cable to set up my tv? I thought an HDMI would do, but I cannot hear any sound without use of an optical cable.

No optical cable needed. Just connect your TV Arc to the receiver arc . With that every thing else you connect in the back of your receiver HDMI port like the blue ray , Amazon Fire TV , projector ect souls come up on your TV screen with a sound . If not your receiver sound is low just increase your receiver sound higher Using the remote and the sound Should come out . For a better quality use the HDMI cable cinema plus 2.0 that has HDHomeRun 2.2 Dolby vision Dolby atmos DTS:X . You may use an optical cable if you do not have an Arc HDMI on your TV . If you have it on both TV and Receiver and Connect the 2 should work. If not your initial sounds on your sound setting is low just increase the sound using your remote

Does this avr support zone 2 speaker pair? can it play a+b simultaneously?

befuddled: the v385 has no zone 2 outs yet, correy says zone cont'rl zone 2 powered!?????can i run my rs 700 off this new rcv'r--y-n??
