  A discussion regarding the progenitor system of the nova and dwarf nova
system V392 Persei using archival data from 2MASS and WISE. We find that the
system is unlikely to contain a luminous red giant donor (i.e. a symbiotic
system), but cannot exclude the presence of a lower luminosity red giant or a
sub-giant donor. The similarity of the SED of the quiescent V392 Per to that of
GK Persei is noted.
