MATSHITA DVD-ROM SR-8175

cdrecord -prcap dev=0,0,0 reports maximum read speed of 4224 kB/s.  I
can set the speed to any number from 1 to 255 with setcd, but the drive
only supports four distinct speeds: 1056, 2112, 3520, and 4224 kB/s
(that approximately translates to 7x, 14x, 23x and 28x).  cdrecord
-prcap shows the currently selected speed.

Any error messages?  Do you have write permissions on the device?
