I'd say it's telling you something is toast :) (Sorry for the technical jargon ...) Seriously, I don't know, though it sounds like something is definitely amiss. You are correct that the dd command simply tries to determine whether the cdrom can be accessed; it does nothing useful other than read bytes in from the cdrom and throw them in the bit bucket.
