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!

It's toast.  And definitely not worth even trying to get repaired, even if that were possible.

I'd have to look, just my nature. Now if the cover is welded on, lol
that might slow me down.. But I'd have to look..

THEN go get yourself a different unit, all kinds of options now.

I take it if you move again, you will check the next time, going the other way? I'm just making sure..

I’m sure there are lots of used receivers available on ebay Europe, but as others have offered, why not use this as an opportunity to upgrade to a nice integrated amp? Do you really need/use the tuner and the AV functions? Ultimately it’s your choice ~ choose wisely.

It's junk, man. Use this as an opportunity to go with separates, and never look back.
