I blew up my receiver. Now what?


I brought my Integra DTM7 to Europe. Plugged it in, and POP! I discovered that unlike my other electronics, it definitely could not handle 220v wall current. Smoke poured from the vents for a while, even though I immediately unplugged it. 
So:

1. What did I break? A fuse? A capacitor? Everything?

2. What’s the best way to get it back up and running here in Europe?

thanks!

All electronic components run on smoke. If you let the smoke out, they don't work anymore...
That being said, I'd open it up to see what fried. The power transformer should have been protected by the fuse. Often, there is a power line conditioning circuit/components prior to the fuse. If not rated for the higher voltage, that's what smoked. Relatively inexpensive repair.
Look before tossing.
