Sony Home Theatre DVD Player - Smoke comes after powe on

Hello Folks,

I got a sony home theatre from United State to India.
Voltage in US is 120 V and in India it is 240 V.

I used to use the 3-pin voltage converter ( 240 to 120 ) for using battery re-charger purchased from US in India.

In a similar way, I purchased a 3-pin voltage converter from 240 to 120 with support for 1000Watts.

when I tried connecting the home theatre dvd player to the India power supply via 3-pin voltage converter, immediately smoke comes from the dvd player..

I stopped the power and now I dont know what to do with the system.

Please suggest whether it will be minimal problem because of the smoke and whether if is any damage because of the smoke can be replaced or not.

Thanks,

blabla - welcome to TSF.

Do you know a good repair shop? You're gonna need one. Smoke always means that bad stuff has already happened.
