Bernd:

Check if the user you want to access the cdrom is in the cdrom group. 
You can do this by grep-ing the group file.

 $ grep -i cdrom /etc/group

It should return something like this

 cdrom:x:24:nancy,jbrown

If your user is not listed then you need to add the user to the cdrom 
group. This as to be done with the root user account.

 # adduser username cdrom

Thank you
