Using the disc instability model (DIM) and a simple but reasonable model for the X-ray, extreme UV, UV and optical emission we investigate the multi-wavelength properties of dwarf novae. We discuss the predictions of the model in the context of the observationally best studied systems, i.e. SS Cyg and VW Hyi. We use the version of the DIM described in Buat-Ménard et al. (2001). The local spectrum of the emission from the disc is assumed to be given by Kurucz (1993,VizieR On-line Data Catalog). We also take into account emission from the (irradiated) secondary, the white dwarf, the hot spot, and the boundary layer.
