A new composite model eliminates discrepancies between synthetic spectra for the L2000 model of β Lyrae and spectrophotometric scans and charge-coupled device (CCD) spectra of that binary star. The source of the discrepancies is the use of synthetic spectra from standard model atmospheres to represent the radiation characteristics of the accretion disc rim. Substitution of a composite synthetic spectrum to represent the accretion disc rim eliminates the discrepancies and produces accordance with both scan data, including their temporal variation, and CCD spectra.
