Power supply/AC power adaptor
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument.
The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the
instrument.
Use the specified adaptor (PA-3C or an equivalent recom-
mended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can
result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or
dust which may have accumulated on it.
Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such
as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or oth-
erwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place
it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or
roll anything over it.
Do not open
Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the
internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument
contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to
be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have
it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Water warning
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in
damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it contain-
ing liquids which might spill into any openings.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire Warning
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the instru-
ment. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged,
or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the in-
strument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear
to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the
instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service person-
nel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to
you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but
are not limited to, the following:
PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Power supply/AC power adaptor
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an
outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling
by the cord can damage it.
Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instru-
ment, or during electrical storms.
Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using
a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound
quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
Battery
Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity
with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result
in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use
new batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix bat-
tery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese bat-
teries, or batteries from different makers, or different types
of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause over-
heating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
Do not dispose batteries in fire.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or
even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These pre-
cautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
3
(4)-8
Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended
to be charged.
When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be
used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instru-
ment to prevent possible leakage of the battery fluid.
Keep batteries away from children.
If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid.
If the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes,
mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a
doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause
loss of sight or chemical burns.
Location
Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibra-
tions, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight,
near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the
possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal
components.
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio,
stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices.
Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where
it might accidentally fall over.
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adap-
tor and other cables.
Connections
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic com-
ponents, turn off the power for all components. Before turn-
ing the power on or off for all components, set all volume
levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all
components at their minimum levels and gradually raise
the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the
desired listening level.
Maintenance
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-
impregnated wiping cloths.
Handling caution
Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into
the gaps on the panel or card slot. If this happens, turn off
the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the
AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instru-
ment, since this might discolor the panel.
Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the
instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons,
switches or connectors.
Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss
or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Saving data
Backing up the Memory Card (SmartMedia)
To protect against data loss through media damage, we rec-
ommend that you save your important data to your com-
puter.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is
lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
When using a power adaptor, even when the power switch is in the "STANDBY" position, electricity is still flowing to the instru-
ment at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor
from the wall AC outlet.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Quick and Easy Recording Anywhere
What Can the SH-01 Do?
When inspiration hits, the SH-01 supplies you
with the ability to capture your ideas quick
and easily. Just sing into the unit’s built-in mi-
crophone and you are recorded in digital ste-
reo.
Effects Add a Professional Touch
The SH-01 is equipped with Yamaha’s DSP ef-
fects like those found in professional sound
systems. Adding effects like reverb, chorus,
equalization, etc., to your recordings adds a
professional touch to your creations and cre-
ates the right mood for inspiration.
Use the Mix Recording Function to Add Overdubs
The SH-01’s mix recording function let’s you create
entire arrangements by overdubbing, or adding suc-
cessively recorded layers, to your original record-
ing. Start with a rhythm guitar part then add a lead
part, or create a four part a capella arrangement all
by yourself. If you make a mistake, simply press the
UNDO button to cancel what you just recorded, then
re-record.
The SH-01 also lets you connect a guitar or
keyboard directly to the unit, making it easy
to capture those inspired phrases when the
mood hits. The unit is also equipped with ac-
curate metronome and tuner functions to keep
your instruments
in pitch.

What Can the SH-01 Do?
You can also record audio from a CD, MD, or
other sound source. Sing a duet or play along
with your favorite artist and use the mix record-
ing function to record the results.
Copying of the commercially available music data and/
or audio files is strictly prohibited except for your per-
sonal use.
Using with a Computer
Data recorded with the SH-01 is stored in
memory cards as MP3 (or WAV) file data.
Since these are standard sound file formats, you
can use these files in your computer as well.
For example, you can easily attach a sound file
that contains a voice letter or some background
music, etc., to an e-mail.
You can connect the unit to your computer with
a USB cable through its USB port. This lets you
reorganize sound files made with the SH-01, use
MP3 files you download from web sites for mix
recording, and more.
Recording from a CD/MD
Listen Quietly Alone, or Turn it Up for Your Friends
Ordinarily you would use the built-in speakers
for audio playback but you can also use a pair
of stereo headphones for those times you’d like
to listen privately.
You can also connect the unit to an audio sys-
tem, guitar amplifier, or sound reinforcement
system, and let others enjoy in your creative tal-
ent.
Whether the volume is loud or soft, the SH-01’s
digital audio always sounds great.

SH-01 itself.
Formatting the Memory Card
Not all memory cards can be used as is. Before
any memory card is used with the SH-01, it
should be formatted (default) by the SH-01.
( page 34)
All data in the card is erased when the card is
formatted, so make sure that the card you want
to format does not contain any important data.
* Memory cards that are formatted by the SH-01 might
not work in any other devices.
Memory Card Compatibility
The SH-01 uses 3.3V (3V) SmartMedia memory
cards. 5V memory cards can not be used.

Adjust the record level while singing a few bars of the song.
* The level meter mode (shown below), which can be displayed by pressing the [DISPLAY/MENU] but-
ton, is useful in this case.

Press the [REC] button to enter the Record Standby mode, and check the amount of time
available for recording.
* If there is not enough time available for recording, either select another recording mode (page 38),
delete any unnecessary files (page 32, 33), or use a memory card that has more available capacity.

Press the [W/A] button to start recording.
Sing into the built-in microphones.
* Using too much force to press the
[W/A]
buttons to start/stop recording may result in recording of the
sound made by the button being pressed. Press the buttons gently.

After you are finished singing, press the [W/A] button to stop recording.
The file you just recorded is automatically given a name, and the display shows that the
data is saved in the memory card.

Next, try and playback what you just recorded.
First, turn the INTERNAL MIC switch located on the rear panel to its OFF position (speaker
output is disabled when this switch is left ON).
Press the [W/A] button to start playback.
Use the PLAY volume and VOLUME controls to adjust the volume produced by the built-in
speakers.
How does it sound? If you want to try again, simply press the [UNDO/DELETE] button. This
carries out the Undo command (cancel) which deletes the data you just recorded from the
memory card.
* When the SH-01 is switched OFF, or when the memory card is removed, UNDO is cleared and reset.
This is the basic manner in which recording and playback is done with the SH-
01. However, the SH-01 can do much more than this.
Next, lets try out some of the SH-01s other functions and try doing an overdub.
Recording Mode (record file type, audio quality)
The SH-01 can record data to the memory card in either MP3 or WAV file formats. When the MP3 file format is
used, 4 different bit depths are available.
Recording Mode: MP3-64k, MP3-96k, MP3-128k, MP3-192k, WAV
The bit rate refers to the degree of accuracy used when converting data. It’s kind of like comparing the 3X-speed
mode and normal speed mode on your home video deck. If you compare MP3-64k and MP3-96k files, the MP3-64k
file will use up less memory however audio quality will be inferior to the MP3-96k file. The WAV format offers better
audio quality than MP3 but it requires a larger amount of memory. The MP3-128k format delivers an excellent
balance between audio quality and memory and should be adequate for normal recordings.
However, sound quality will deteriorate slightly with mix recording, so we recommend that MP3-192k when mix
recording is to be used continuously. The factory default setting is MP3-192k.
Refer to the “Recording Mode” section (page 38) for more information on how to set the recording mode.
Factory Set
This operation is used to return the SH-01’s internal settings back to their factory defaults.
When the factory set function is carried out, all settings such as those for the
recording mode, etc., and the data for the ADD-ON effects are returned to their
factory defaults, so please use caution. Also, the file name and number will
restart from SONG_001. Data stored in the memory card is safe from this op-
eration and will not be lost when the operation is carried out.
To carry out the factory set operation, hold down both the [DISPLAY/MENU] button and the [EFFECT] button,
and switch ON the power. The message “FACTORY SET OK?” appears in the display asking you for confirma-
tion before carrying out the operation. Press the [+] button to carry out the operation. To cancel the factory set
operation, press the [] button.
File Name
When the SH-01 creates a new file for a new recording, the new file is automatically given a file name such as
SONG_xxx. The “xxx” represents a three-digit number given to the file name, starting from 001 and increasing
in increments of 1 (SONG_002, SONG_003 ...). This number’s value will continue to increase by 1 unless the
SH-01’s factory set operation is carried out (refer to the “Factory Set” section described below).
20
The Mix Recording function can be used to overdub a vocal part after recording
the guitar part.
* Before you start recording your guitar make sure its in tune. The SH-01 is equipped with a tuner that is
described on page 24.
Recording a Guitar (Make a New Recording)
1
Connect your electric or electric/acoustic guitar to the SH-01’s INST. jack. If you playing an
acoustic guitar, you can either use the built-in microphones or connect a dynamic type mi-
crophone to the INST. jack to record audio. If the built-in microphones will not be used,
switch INTERNAL MIC switch to its “OFF” position. Also, connect a pair of headphones to
the LINE OUT/PHONES jack for monitoring. ( page 15)
