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!

Treat 220v with respect, it will kill you. Luckily you are not toast like the unit.
With different plugs and sockets across Europe for 220v I guess you went with two prongs, a live and neutral and no ground......not safe, especially when you unplugged the cable, had the breaker not tripped the cable could have melted in you hand. The breaker should have tripped immediately?
