I have a Wharfedale DVD R24HDF DVD recorder and for some reason, I can only get an output from the HDMI port. The scart port doesn't display anything. Can somebody suggest something?

As river rat said must be something in the menu on recorder for changing HDMI input/output to composite scart.
Unless the scart is only for input from digibox/cablebox etc.

Some dvd/hdd recorders have a scart socket/settings specifically for analogue satellite receivers and if connected,to other equipment will only show a black screen.
Check that this doesn't apply.
I would also check that you are connecting to the correct scart socket(input/ouput),not just input scart.
Also check that the scart cable is not faulty.
