# dmesg
And look at beginning of what it returns, what is said about your driver (you will also see a line for your hard disk) ? Is it * really * a Matshita... ? You maybe know the model ?
I don't know if it is possible to tell the kernel that your CD is actualy a Writer...

Could you try the following command as root :
# cdrecord --scanbus
And tell me what it tells ?
