From wikipedia:

QUOTE

D4 , D-tanshi (Ｄ端子), or D-Terminal, is a type of analog video connector found on Japanese consumer electronics, typically HDTV, DVD, Bluray, D-VHS and HD-DVD devices. It was developed by the EIAJ (Electronic Industry Association of Japan) for use in digital satellite broadcast tuners. In appearance it is a small flat trapezoid connector, the same connector as the AAUI connector used by Apple Computer for some time to connect to ethernet. A D4 connector carries a Component video signal (Y Pr Pb). A device with a D4 connector can understand and display the following video signals:

* Japanese D1 video - 525i (480i).
* Japanese D2 video - 525p (480p).
* Japanese D3 video - 1125i (1080i/1035i).
* Japanese D4 video - 750p (720p).

To make it simple, only HDTV sold in Japan uses D-Terminal. HDTV from other place are using Component Cable.

is the D-terminal is as same as DVI-D?

also known as D4 connector, its a Japanese standard available mostly only to Japanese TVs. Actually it carries the same YCbCr signal as Component video, only different connector. Wikipedia

1) I'm not sure myself, but some people claims that stepdown converter increase your electricity usage; hence you have to pay more when the bill come.

2) Yes, it does produce heat.

my answers,

1. bad thing about using the stepdown is it's too huge and need space and if you travels a lot then sure sakit kepala lah.

2. i am using the 500w stepdown and just a little heat only. you wont feel it at all

if like both console is using xbox1 game such as halo2 or forza, then you can play online together. but if one using xbox1 game and the other using xbox360 game (bf2:mc / graw), then you cannot play online together.
