The diagnositic possibilities for identifying the ionizing source in symbiotic systems are explored. As possible sources we consider hot blackbodies and accretion discs. It turns out that main sequence accretors and hot blackbodies may have the same appearance in both, emission line and continuum flux distribution. However, UV continuum indices of models containing an accretion disc around a white dwarf are confined to a very small region, separated from main sequence accretors and blackbodies. Furthermore, if symbiotic systems containing a white dwarf accretor exist, they might be recognizable by strong emission in Fe X λ6374.
