Abstract: We present the 0.12 − 0.45 μ SED of two quiet symbiotic binaries, EG And and CQ Dra. We reconstructed the observed SED by a three-component- model of radiation to isolate the stellar and nebular contributions. This analysis showed that CQDra can definitely be considered as the symbiotic binary and not a CV in a wide binary. Our solution suggests that the sole energy source in both binaries is accretion from the giant's wind at the rate of a few ×10−8MSolar yr−1 for EG And and a few ×10−9MSolar yr−1 for CQ Dra.
